| Abstract |
Biodegradability of pentachlorophenol and its biological kinetic parameters were investigated using a chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis. The experiments were performed in continuous stirred tank reactors with synthetic wastewater containing 30 and 60㎎/L of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and other carbon sources. Mean cell residence time (MCRT) and hydraulic residence time (HRT) were maintained from 4.8 to 26.2 days and 4 to 17 hours, respectively. While synthetic wastewater containing 30 ㎎/L of PCP showed over 90% S-COD removal efficiencies except at the 4.8 and 20.3 days of MCRT, 55% to 75% removal efficiencies were observed for 60 ㎎/L of PCP concentration. The respective values of Y and k_d were 0.15 and 0.010 day^(-1) for 30 ㎎/L PCP (r²= 0.90), and 0.13 and 0.014 day^(-1) for 60 ㎎/L PCP (r² = 0.86), respectively. In a substrate inhibition kinetics, Haldane model, the respective values of K_s, K_i and k were 60.8 ㎎ COD/L, 297.5 ㎎ COD/L and 0.93 day^(-1) for 30 ㎎/L PCP (r² = 0.30), and 262.2 ㎎ COD/L, 997.2 ㎎ COD/L and 0.053 day^(-1) for 60 ㎎/L PCP (r² = 0.78), respectively. |
