Extracted text: Refined sugar (sucrose) can be converted to glucose and fructose by the inversion process. Cı2HnO1 + H20 CH„O6 + C,H1206 Sucrose d-Glucose d-Fructose Immobilized glucose isomerase is used as a catalyst in producing fructose from glucose in a fixed-bed reactor (water is the solvent). For the system shown in Fig. E2.26a, what percent conversion of glucose results on one pass through the reactor when the exit stream/recycle ra- tio in moles is equal to 8.33? The reaction is C,H2O6 d-glucose d-fructose Recycle Feed Fixed- Bed Product 40% Glucose 4% Fructose Reactor in Water Figure E2.26a
