SIMULATION OF THE TRICKLING FILTRATION PROCESS

[摘要] References(37)A critical appraisal of the inclined plane as a means of simulating trickling filtration operation is made. The requirements for aerobic operation have been discussed. Studies of mass-transfer and reaction which occur in the trickling filtration process have been carried out using glucose as a synthetic pollutant. Attempts have been made to relate the experimental data to mathematical theories. The results show that hydrodynamic studies must be carried out simultaneously with pollutant removal studies. A direct relationship has been demonstrated between the deviation from Nusselt''s hydrodynamic model and the enhancement of pollutant removal.
