Model Development for Single Substrate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Biodegradation

Abstract:

The kinetic of microbial growth and substrate utilization can be used to predict the fate and behavior of contaminants like PAHs in the environment through appropriate models. Further kinetic study results are useful in evaluating and weighing suitable treatment option for remediation and clean up of contaminated sites.. In this research a mathematical model for biodegradation of PAHs using isolated bacteria from municipal sludge was studied.. The model was developed using the Monod equation.. Results showed that the remaining PAHs in all samples decreased within time.
