Abstract

Biogradation of 2-chlorophenol was studied using immobilized activated sludge. System response to variation in temparature and concentration of 2-chlorophenol was studied in an air-sparged reactor. A recirculation reactor, run in a batch mode, was used to study kinetic parameters. The system response was examined following changes in 2-chlorophenol concentration, flow rate, and biomass loadings. Stoichiometric amounts of free chloride detected at the end of the experiments confirmed mineralization of 2-chlorophenol. A nonlinear regression model was developed to verify and evaluate the kinetic parameters for the removal of 2-chlorophenol. The model was modified to accommodate the removal of 2-chlorophenol by stripping.
