Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a fatty acid, which includes feeding a liquid mixture formed of two liquid phases that flow in a co-current manner into a fixed bed-type reaction column packed with immobilized lipase, and performing a hydrolysis reaction when the two liquid phases are in contact with the immobilized lipase in the fixed-bed reaction column; wherein the fixed-bed reaction column comprises partition plates so as to comprise a plurality of tube- shaped structures, wherein each tube-shaped structure has a cross -section which is rectangular, circular, oval, or polygonal in shape with at least a part being unclosed and the cross-section has a representative length of 100 mm or less.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a useful substance, the process includes feeding a liquid mixture formed of two liquid phases into a fixed bed-type reaction column packed with an immobilized enzyme, and allowing the liquid mixture to flow in the same direction in a co-current manner to perform a reaction. The packing thickness of the immobilized enzyme per stage of the fixed bed-type reaction column having an equivalent circular diameter of 35 mm? or larger is 10 to 200 mm. The flow of the reaction liquid inside the column can be made uniform, and as a result, reactivity and productivity is enhanced.
