Oxygen- and Nitrate-based Biodegradation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Monod-kinetics: Application of a Simplified Numerical Algorithm

Author(s): Mamun Rashid & Jagath J. Kaluarachchi

Abstract:
A simplified numerical algorithm was developed to solve the nonlinear Monod-kinetics for an organic contaminant, oxygen, nitrate, and microbial population.

The numerical algorithm is presented in the batch-reactor mode and the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm were tested with an iterative solution using the Runge-Kutta method.

The results showed a good match between the two solutions with a high computational efficiency.

The applicability of the algorithm was further tested using a field-scale example of natural attenuation where the algorithm was coupled with the advective-dispersive transport equations.

The results showed...
