Mathematical Models for Biofilms on the Surface of Monuments
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, a system of nonlinear hyperbolic-elliptic partial differential equations is introduced to model the formation of biofilms. First, a short introduction to some basic concepts about biofilms is given. Then a detailed derivation of the model is presented, which is mainly based on the theory of mixtures, also in comparison with previous models. Adapted numerical schemes will be presented and numerical simulations will be discussed.

What About Biofilms on the Surface of Stone Monuments?
Bacteria can live either as free planktonic cells in bulk solution, or as sessile cells attached to a surface. In addition to their attachment status, sessile bacteria are part of sessile communities termed biofilms. A biofilm can be defined as a microbial community attached to a solid surface composed of cells organized as microcolonies embedded in an organic polymer matrix of microbial origin...

متن کاملOptimization of ammonia removal in an integrated fix-film activated sludge using response surface methodology
In this work, removal of ammonia from synthetic wastewater using integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The main operating parameters such as ammonia concentration rate (ALR) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were optimized to acquire the maximum removal efficiency. The linear, 2FI, quadratic, mean, and cubic models were ut...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Adsorption of Surfactant onto Powdered Activated Carbon
The main objectives of this study were to remove surface-active agents and to predict the adsorption rejection models. The effects of surfactant concentration and PAC amount on the adsorption were determined. For both surfactants, It was found that the adsorption values also increased when PAC amount increased. It was observed that the rejection values are different for the adsorption of C...
