Kinetics of phenol removal by Nocardia species

1979

Phenol removal by pure cultures of Nocardia corallina was studied in a batch reacting system by estimating both the active biomass and the phenol concentration in the liquid during the experiments. A simple kinetic model was tested and the relative constants determined at 37°C.

Kinetic parameter determination in monoculture and monosubstrate biological reactors

1982

The kinetic parameters of a biological reactor, operating under monoculture and monosubstrate conditions, have been determined. Pure cultures of Nocardia corallina and Pseudomonas fluorescens species have been used with phenol as the only organic carbon source. The experimental runs have been carried out both in a batch and in a continuous stirred reactor. The batch results have been interpreted by zero order kinetics in phenol and first order kinetics in biomass. The kinetic-constants have also been calculated. The activation energy has been determined only for the Nocardia species. Using this strain, the continuous reactor, working without biomass recycle, has confirmed the first order ki…
