Notes:
Experiments were conducted on the degradation of valeric acid in aqueous solutions by bacteria in attached growth and on the removal of valeric acid from aqueous solutions in granular activated carbon columns. The first type of experiment was intended to obtain results necessary to determine the values of the relevant parameter of biofilm kinetics. These parameters were then used in conjunction with the model developed in Part I to predict the performance of carbon columns for removing valeric acid. Comparisons between experiments and predictions constitute the necessary model validation.
