文档介绍：Laudatio
This volume is dedicated to -Dieter Deckwer on the occasion of his 60th
birthday. He is Professor of Biochemical Engineering at the Technical Universi-
ty Braunschweig, Head of the Biochemical Engineering Division of the German
Research Centre for Biotechnology, Braunschweig and member of the Advisory
Boards of several international periodicals.
Wolf-Dieter Deckwer is recognised for his important contributions to bio-
chemical engineering, especially for the evaluation of the interrelation between
reactor engineering (fluid dynamics and transport processes in reactors) inclu-
ding scale up effects and the biology of the anisms and cells. He has
always stressed the engineering aspects of cultivation, the evaluation of quanti-
tative engineering data for construction of bioreactors and of quantitative bio-
logical parameters for process development. In integrated process approaches
he has taken into account the recovery and purification of the products beside
the product formation.
His professional development is similar to several other typical biochemical
engineers; they have a basic chemical engineering education, first focussing
on chemical reaction engineering and later gradually shifted to biochemical
engineering.
Prof. Dr. Wolf-Dieter Deckwer
Laudatio XI
Wolf-Dieter Deckwer studied chemistry and chemical engineering at the
Technical University Berlin and in 1973 obtained his PhD degree in the
Institute of Technical Chemistry at the same University. After his promotion he
stayed in this institute and received the permission of teaching (Habilitation)
in 1975.
He was dealing in the frame of his dissertation with chemical reaction
engineering, especially with modelling plex reactions in axial dispersed
tubular reactors.
The director of this Institute, Dr. Herbert Kölbel, Professor of Technical Che-
mistry, has been involved during the second World War II in the development
of upgrading coal to other hydrocarb
