    Notes: A study was made of phenol degradation by bacteria immobilized onto particles of calcined diatomaceous earth in a draft-tube, three-phase fluidized-bed reactor.A mathematical model is used to describe simultaneous diffusion and reaction of oxygen and phenol in the reactor. Kinetic parameters for the growth of nonsupported cells were obtained in batch and chemostat experiments. Liquid-solid mass transfer coefficients were determined experimentally and showed good agreement with literature values for conventional three-phase fluidized beds. Experimental steady-state degradation data were used to calculate biofilm substrate diffusivities. These were found to decrease as the biofilm density increased.The transition from phenol to oxygen-limiting biofilm kinetics predicted by the model was shown to exist experimentally. A critical ratio of phenol/dissolved oxygen concentration was found at which this transition occurred. This provides a criterion for establishing whether increased aeration will increase the volumetric degradation rate.

    Notes: --The treatment of a model wastewater containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) of molecular weight 10000 in an integrated wet air oxidation-aerobic oxidation process was investigated. Partial wet air oxidation under mild operating conditions was capable of converting the original polymer to lower molecular weight compounds, such as oligomers and short-chain organic acids. The effect of molecular weight on the aerobic biodegradability of polyethylene glycol was assessed by performing shake flasks experiments with various polyethylene glycols in a molecular weight range from 200-35000 and it was found that biodegradability generally decreased with increasing molecular weight. Aqueous solutions of PEG 10000 were subjected to continuous wet air oxidation at a temperature of 423 K and a residence time of 30 min and the oxidised effluents were then subjected to subsequent continuous aerobic oxidation at residence times varying between 0·5 and 4 days. Simultaneously, continuous aerobic oxidation experiments on solutions of PEG 10000 were performed and used to compare the efficiency of the integrated treatment process with that of the direct biological treatment. Partial pretreatment by wet air oxidation under mild operating conditions resulted in effluents whose biodegradation rates were significantly higher than those of the original, unoxidised wastewater, as assessed by total organic carbon (TOC) removal rates. The original wastewater was practically non-biodegradable at a 0·5-day residence time with direct biological treatment, while an 80% TOC removal was achieved when biological treatment was coupled with a preceding wet air oxidation step. Conversely, with a 4-day residence time for the direct biological treatment the original wastewater was only partially degradable with 60-70% TOC removal recorded; with the integrated treatment process at a 4-day residence time in the bioreactor the overall TOC removal was greater than 90%. © 1997 SCI

    Notes: This paper describes an extractive membrane bioreactor developed to extract and biodegrade toxic organic pollutants present in chemical industry wastewaters. The technology is applicable to wastewaters emanating in organic synthesis operations which are not treatable by conventional ‘direct’ biological treatment due to extremes of pH, high salt contents, or otherwise hostile organic compositions, and also to wastewaters that contain volatile organic compounds. A laboratory scale prototype demonstrating the technology has been operated continuously over periods of several months, using industrially produced wastewaters. No pre-conditioning or dilution of the wastewaters is necessary prior to treatment, which removes and destroys over 99% of the toxic organics present.
