Effect of acetate and methanol on the kinetics of total dissolved selenium removal in a chemostat

Abstract:BACKGROUNDCarbon source consumption in industrial bioreactors removing soluble Se contributes to the operating cost and can influence the rate of removal. This study used a laboratory chemostat to investigate the dependency of the rate of dissolved Se removal on the concentration of acetate and methanol, two carbon sources used in treatment of Se containing mine‐influenced water. It was hypothesized that the rate of dissolved Se removal follows a Monod kinetic model with carbon source as the limiting substrate… Show more
