Modeling cometabolic transformation of a CAH mixture by a butane utilizing culture

Creator:

Mathias, Maureen Anne

Abstract:

The goal of this research was to mathematically simulate the ability of bioaugmented microorganisms to aerobically cometabolize a mixture of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CAH) compounds during in-situ treatment. Parameter values measured from laboratory experiments were applied to the transport model with biotransformation processes included. In laboratory microcosm studies, a butane-grown,...
