Abstract: A biofilm model for the cometabolic degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) by methane oxidizing (methanotrophic) bacteria is derived. Methane utilization and TCE transformation were modeled using diffusive mass transport, ...

Abstract: In-situ methanotrophic bioremediation of ground water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) often require the addition of O

Abstract: Differential equations describing mass balances on solutes and mass fractions in a mixed‐culture biological film within a completely mixed reactor are derived. Simultaneous numerical solution of these equations is not ...
