Question

6.11. The following data are obtained in oxidation of pesticides present in wastewater by a mixed culture of microorganisms in a continuously operating aeration tank. D (h?¹) | S (Pesticides), mg/l | X (mg/l) 0.05 | 15 | 162 0.11 | 25 | 210 0.24 | 50 | 250 0.39 | 100 | 235 0.52 | 140 | 220 0.7 | 180 | 205 0.82 | 240 | 170 Assuming the pesticide concentration in the feed wastewater stream as S? = 500 mg/l, determine Y^M_{X/S}, k_d, ?_m, and K_s.

Step 1

- kd is the decay coefficient, which represents the rate at which the biomass decays. - Um is the maximum specific growth rate, which represents the maximum rate at which the biomass can grow. - Ks is the half-saturation constant, which represents the substrate Show more…
