Abstract
A transient model considering the emission rate of volatile and semivo latile organic compounds from an intermittently aerated bioreactor is developed and solved analytically. If the aeration time is relatively short, and/or the overall mass transfer resistance is high, a large de viation can occur from the pseudo-steady-state mass transfer model by Chern and Yu (Chern, J.-M.; Yu, C.-F. Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 1995, 34, 2 634) or from the conventional ASCE standard model by Matter-Muller et al. (Matter-Muller, C.; Gujer, W.; Giger, W. Water Res. 1981, 15, 1271 ).
