Kinetics of anaerobic treatment: A critical review
Abstract
The fundamentals of microbial kinetics and continuous culture models are presented. The kinetics of the anaerobic treatment processes are reviewed recognizing that anaerobic degradation of complex, polymeric organic materials is a combination of series and parallel reactions. Such reactions include hydrolysis, fermentation, anaerobic oxidation of fatty acids, and methanogenesis. The intrinsic rates of each step are reviewed and literature data summarized. Whenever possible, available kinetic information is summarized on the basis of substrate composition (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids). The effect of temperature and inhibitors on the intrinsic kinetic rates is discussed. Stoichiometric and bioenergetic considerations are reviewed. Mass transfer limitations (both external and internal) associated with biofilms and microbial agglomerates, in general, and their effect on the intrinsic kinetic rates are presented. Areas requiring further research are identified.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
