Lecture

Biodegradation Kinetics: Extended Monod Growth Model

Description

This lecture discusses the Extended Monod growth model, which relates the biodegradation rate to biomass concentration and organic matter. The model considers the growth and decay of biomass, the oxidation of organic carbon, and the balance of aqueous phase species. Equations are presented to show the transformation of general expressions for specific cases, with examples of oxidation reactions coupled with biomass growth. The lecture also covers the recycling of chemical species from biomass to the aqueous phase and the influence of biomass concentration on biodegradation rate.
