Mathematical modeling of a trickle-bed bioreactor for wastewater treatment
Original language description
This paper deals with mathematical modeling of a trickle-bed bioreactor used for removal of organic dyes from textile industry waste-waters. Biofiltration is a process of removing pollutants by various kinds of microorganisms, which degrade them to carbon dioxide and water. In this paper mycelium of the white rot fungus is used as the biodegrading organism. The objective of this paper is to introduce a mathematical model of the biofiltration process including mass balances of the substrate in the liquidphase and in the biofilm and the growth of the biofilm described by an equation resulting from the biomass balance. The model was implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics programming environment and so far obtained numerical results are shortly summarized. The model is considered to be the first approximation to a more sophisticated mathematical description of the biofilm system
