Biomass/adsorbent electrostatic interactions in expanded bed adsorption: a zeta potential study.

abstract：:Traditional biological treatment models are "deduced" from formal chemical kinetics or dynamics of pure microorganism cultures growth. The best formal models give reasonable approximations of the biological treatment model with an ecosystem adaptation (ESA model). The model presented here explains some features of the...
