Abstract: The aerated fluidized bed biofilm reactor (FBBR) was evaluated for treatment of a corn starch wastewater at food‐to‐microorganism (F/M) ratios ranging from 0.42 to 1.61 g 5‐day biochemical oxygen demand

Abstract: The anoxic/oxic activated sludge treatment kinetics of cyanides (i.e., cyanide and thiocyanate) and phenols (i.e., phenol, cresols, and catechol) are studied. The Michaelis‐Menten expression or its simplified forms are ...

Abstract: Biodegradation of aminobenzene, which is used as the only source of carbon and nitrogen, is evaluated in a single fluidized bed reactor operated in a temporal, anoxic/oxic mode. The experimental evidence indicates that ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of the

Abstract: The ability of immobilized cells grown under oxic and fluidized conditions to degrade 4‐chlorophenol (4‐CP) and 2,4‐dichlorophenol (2,4‐DCP) is evaluated under different dilute rate conditions. Microcarriers with 6.5‐μ. ...

Abstract: The anaerobic fluidized bed (AFB) reactor, using spherical granular activated carbon (GAC) particles as the media, is evaluated for the pretreatment of hog wastewater. A laboratory investigation is performed to assess the ...

Abstract: Many uncertain factors affect the operation of wastewater treatment plants. These include the physical and chemical properties of wastewater streams as well as the degradation mechanisms exhibited by biological processes. ...

Abstract: A combined chemical coagulation/flocculation‐Fluidized Bed Biofilm Reactor (FBBR) process was evaluated for the treatment of an equalized slaughterhouse wastewater. Results obtained from jar and tank tests indicated that ...
