APPARATUS FOR MAKING BIOCATALYST PEARLS

摘要

An apparatus for the production of biocatalyst beads comprises an immobilization vessel (10) which is provided at its lower end with discharge pipes (23) which extend through a pressure chamber (25) in which a gas pressure prevails. The pressure chamber (25) is terminated by a plate (24) exhibiting holes which coaxially surround the discharge pipes (23). At the lower end of the immobilization vessel (10) is provided a connecting nozzle (30) which is connected in germproof sealing manner to the wall of a collecting vessel (11) which contains a solution of a cross-linking agent or a reprecipitation bath. The collecting vessel (11) may be constructed as a fermenter and provided with an agitator. Both of the vessels may be jointly sterilized.
