The kinetics of phenol degradation by immobilized pseudomonas sp in a repeated-batch process
The best operating conditions for phenol degradation by immobilized Pseudomonas sp in packed column were determined, and then evaluated in repeated batch cultures. The maximum degradation rate occurred in i) the support with 1.0 cm diameter or less, ii) loading rate of 2.5 ml/min, and iii) in cult...

| Summary: | The best operating conditions for phenol degradation by immobilized Pseudomonas sp in packed column were
determined, and then evaluated in repeated batch cultures. The maximum degradation rate occurred in i) the support
with 1.0 cm diameter or less, ii) loading rate of 2.5 ml/min, and iii) in culture supplemented with nutrient. At these conditions, the immobilized cells managed to remove 100% of 1000 ppm phenol within 24 hours, and repeated the
same performance in the next six consecutive batches. This achievement was comparable to published data. The
approach employed in this study provides a useful guideline in treating phenolic contaminants using packed reactor
system. |
