By taking the parameters of Q14 into consideration, estimate how many tonnes of glucose are produced per year? Correct Answer 56.7 tonnes yr-1

The rate of lactose conversion is equal to the difference between inlet and outlet mass flow rates of lactose: F(si – sf) = 1.56 m3 h-1 (9.5 – 0.19) kg m-3 = 14.5 kg h-1 Converting this to an annual rate based on 310 d per year and a molecular weight for lactose of 342: The enzyme reaction is: lactose + H20 → glucose + galactose. Therefore, from reaction stoichiometry, 315 kg mol glucose are produced per year. The molecular weight of glucose is 180; therefore:
