This powerpoint presentation begins by providing the study objective that includes the following:
to model the biodegradation of microcystin-LR
using a non-steady-state biofilm model, and compare
model results with values
obtained in laboratory-scale biofilters. A brief overview is provided of the following topics: Microcystin-LR;
biofiltration;
biofiltration simulation model; and,
model parameters. Presentation conclusions indicate the following:
the results of biofilm model, using estimated
biofilm thickness, indicated a better
agreement with the total organic carbon (TOC) experimental data
than with the microcystin's data; during the
ripening period, the simulation showed
smaller toxin effluent concentration than the
ones obtained experimentally; the higher concentration of microcystin in the
effluent of the biofiltration experiment during
the ripening period may be related to two
factors,
the low diffusivity of microcystin in the water and in
the biofilm, and
the large dispersion within the filter column. Includes tables, figures.
