A biocatalyst prepared by the immobilization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on the surface of the mineral kissiris was used in the present study for continuous potable-alcohol production. An ethanol productivity (calculated on the basis of liquid volume) of 10.5 g/L/h was obtained at a 0.7/h dilution rate, 121 g/L sucrose content, and 29.6% conversion employing molasse as feed material. Glucose, raisin extracts, and molasse were successively used as feed materials without stopping the operation of the reactor for 6 mo. The ethanol productivity and yield remained constant during the operational-stability study of the reactor, carried out for 44 d. Biomass productivity, yield, and free-cell concentration in glucose, raisin extracts, and molasse were examined. Finally, a system with two continuous reactors joined successively was also studied in the present investigation.
