What is the effect of the concentration of dissolved salts and sugars on the oxygen transfer rate?
Options
A. The saturation concentration of oxygen in the medium decreases with the concentration of dissolved salts and sugars, leading to a lower oxygen transfer rate
B. The KLa of the medium decreases with the concentration of dissolved salts and sugars, leading to a lower oxygen transfer rate
C. The KLa of the medium increases with the concentration of dissolved salts and sugars, leading to a lower oxygen transfer rate
D. None of the above
Correct Answer
The saturation concentration of oxygen in the medium decreases with the concentration of dissolved salts and sugars, leading to a lower oxygen transfer rate
