Bj. Brosilow et al., A SIMPLE-MODEL DESCRIBING NITRATE AND NITRITE REDUCTION IN FLUIDIZED-BED BIOLOGICAL REACTORS, Biotechnology and bioengineering, 54(6), 1997, pp. 543-548
A uniquely simple model is developed to describe the NO3-, and NO2- co
ncentration profiles within a dentrification fluidized bed biological
reactor. This simple model is compared to experimental data, and to a
more complex model similar to those previously proposed in the literat
ure. The simple model fits the experimental data at least as well as t
he more complex model. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
