The selection of the most appropriate mean treatment time, reaction temperature and dissolved oxygen level to be maintained in the aerated mixed liquor requires a clear definition of the treatment objectives for each particular farm enterprise. These are the... 

More information is needed on factors such as optimal cultures for specific applications, aeration, mixing requirements, timing of microbial and nutrient augmentation, soil type, and bioavailability of hazardous compounds. These parameters will help develop fungal composting as a reliable method for degrading PAHs. 

For aerated mixing vessels in an aqueous solution, the mass-transfer coefficient is proportional to the power consumption (Lopes De Figueiredo and Calderbank, 1978) as... 

The interfacial area for the aerated mixing vessel is a function of agitation conditions. Therefore, according to Eq. (9.41)...

As the mix is frozen and aerated its viscosity increases both because the temperature is decreased and also because ice crystals and air bubbles are formed. The viscosity of an aerated mix increases according to Einstein s equation (equation 2.11) for low air volume fractions. Figure 7.22 shows what happens as an aerated ice cream mix is frozen. The storage modulus, G starts to rise at about — 0.5 C when the first ice crystals form, and continues to increase as the temperature decreases. This data was obtained by using a scraped surface heat exchanger that is simultaneously a rheometer G was calculated from the torque on the dasher.

The 2/ batch unit was operated under conditions of limited aeration (0.12 / /min) at an ambient temperature of about 25 C). The fill-and-draw activated sludge unit was fed daily with 1,667 ml of fresh digester effluent after withdrawing an equal volume of mixed liquor aerated for 24 hours. Selected volumes of the aerator mixed liquor were recycled to the digester to...

In aerated mixing vessels the mass-transfer coefficients are essentially independent of the power input. However, as the power is increased, the bubble size decreases and the mass transfer coefficient continues to follow Eq. (7.4-1). The dispersions include those in which the solid particles are just completely suspended in mixing vessels. Increase in agitation intensity above the level needed for complete suspension of these small particles results in only a small increase in /c (C3).
