Immobilization of enzymes on nonporous supports provides a suitable model for investigating the effect of external mass transfer limitation on the reaction rate in the absence of internal diffusional resistance. In this study, deacylation of penicillin G was investigated using penicillin acylase immobilized on ultrafine silica particles. Kinetic studies were performed within the low-substrate-concentration region, where the external mass transfer limitation becomes significant. To predict the apparent kinetic parameters and the overall effectiveness factor, knowledge of the external mass transfer coefficient, k_L a, is necessary. Although various correlations exist for estimation of k_L a, in this study, an optimization scheme was utilized to obtain this coefficient. Using the optimum values of k_L a, the initial reaction rates were predicted and found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
