    Notes: The objective of this article is to define and validate a mathematical model that desribes the physical and biological processes occurring in a trickle-bed air biofilter for waste gas treatment. This model considers a two-phase system, quasi-steady-state processes, uniform bacterial population, and one limiting substrate. The variation of the specific surface area with bacterial growth is included in the model, and its effect on the biofilter performance is analyzed. This analysis leads to the conclusion that excessive accumulation of biomass in the reactor has a negative effect on contaminant removal efficiency. To solve this problem, excess biomass is removed via full media fluidization and backwashing of the biofilter. The backwashing technique is also incorporated in the model as a process variable. Experimental data from the biodegradation of toluene in a pilot system with four packed-bed reactors are used to validate the model. Once the model is calibrated with the estimation of the unknown parameters of the system, it is used to simulate the biofilter performance for different operating conditions. Model predictions are found to be in agreement with experimental data. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 54: 583-594, 1997.

    Notes: A detailed model acetate-utilizing methanogenic biofilms accounting for the diffusion of neutral and ionic species, chemical equilibrium, electroneutrality, gas production within the biofilm, pH-dependent Monod kinetics, and the presence of a concentration boundary layer is presented. The model qualitatively fits the pH profiles that are reported for acetate-utilizing methanogenic aggregates. A sensitivity analysis on the biological parameters showed that the flux of acetate is sensitive to the maximum utilization rate, half-saturation constant, and biofilm density for the bulk conditions investigated. Criteria when traditional biofilm models can be used to predict the flux of acetate into the biofilm are established. If the maximum pH change predicted using a hypothetical system is within ±0.05, the traditional model predicts the flux to within ±5% of the value calculated with the model developed in this study. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Keywords: anaerobic biofilm ; CSTR ; reactors, nonide ; pH ; plug-flow reactors ; biofilm modeling ; Chemistry ; Biochemistry and Biotechnology

    Notes: A rigorous steady-state model of anaerobic biofilm reactors taking into account acid-base and gas-phase equilibria in the reactor in conjunction with detailed chemical equilibria and mass transfer in acetate-utilizing methanogenic biofilms is presented. The performances of ideal completely stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) and plug-flow reactors, as well as reactors with nonideal hydraulic conditions, are simulated. Decreasing the surface loading rate increases the acetate removal efficiency, while decreasing the influent pH and increasing the buffering capacity improves the removal efficiency only if the bulk pH of the reactor shifts toward more optimal values between 6.8 to 7.0. The reactor can have negative or positive removal efficiencies depending on the start-up conditions. The respiration coefficient plays a critical role in determining the minimum influent pH required for reactor recovery after failure. Having multiple CSTRs-in-series generally increases the overall removal efficiency for the influent conditions investigated. Monitoring of the influent feed quality is critical for plug-flow reactors, becasue failure of the initial sections of the reactor may cause a cascading effect that may lead to a rapid reactor failure. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Enhancement of the productivity of xylanase and β-xy-losidase of Aspergillus ochraceus was investigated by multistep mutagenesis. The spores of the wild strain were subjected to UV and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitro-soguanidine (NTG). The hyperxylanolytic mutant (NG-13), which showed good clearing on the surface of the xylan-agar plate, secretes xylanase and β-xylosidase at high levels during growth on commercial xylan and on agricultural wastes. Both liquid and solid state cultures were employed in the study for enzyme production. The xylanase from NG-13 was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration. This purified enzyme showed a pH optimum of 6.0 and was stable in the range of pH 5 to 10. Prolonged stability of the enzyme was observed at 45°C though its activity was maximal at 50°C. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 4.3 × 104 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 5 × 104 by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75. The kinetic data showed that the Km and Vmax values for xylan were 1 × 10-3M and 19.6 μmol/ min/mg protein, respectively. The enzyme was both more active and thermostable in the presence of K+and was inactivated by thiol reagents such as Hg2+, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (PHMB), 3′, 5′-dithiobis (2′-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM).
