An aerobic biochemical process uses a CSTR w/o recycle. The feed characteristics are as follows: Influent substrate concentration, So = 200 mg/L; half- velocity coefficient, Ks = 50 mg/L; maximum, specific substrate utilization rate, k = 5 g/g- day; yield coefficient, Y = 0.5 g Xa/g substrate consumed; microorganism decay coefficient, b = 0.10 day-1. 1. The process goal is the production of active biomass. Determine the hydraulic retention time that the reactor should be operated in order to maximize the reactor active biomass concentration (Xa). How does this retention time compare with the minimum solids retention time that the system can theoretically be operated? Calculate the solids retention time safety factor. 2. Based on the solids retention time for maximum Xa calculated above, estimate the active biomass concentration (Xa) and the substrate removal efficiency (E, %)

Menaquinones is produced by Flavobacterium meningosepticum via submerged fermentation with 60% working volume in 30-L fermentation. To obtain the crude menaquinones, the fermentation medium is centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes. The vacuum-freeze dried particles are crushed and collected. After that the samples are treated with methanol for 20 minutes. To remove polar lipid compounds from bacterial cells, HZ816 macroporous adsorption resin column is used with methanol-dichloromethane (l:1) as mobile phase and flow rate of 0.75 mL/min. Rotary evaporation at 500 C is carried out to concentrate the eluent. After that, the concentrated sample is purified with Bio-BeadsTM S-X3 to remove components without UV absorption. To obtain the homolog purified menaquinones, RP-C18 column is used. Recrystallization is carried out to obtain pure crystalized menaquinones. Answer the following: Indicate how to obtain the sample in the methanol solvent. Three different chromatography are used in…

Two microorganisms that use naphthalene as a food source have the same Umax but different Ks values for naphthalene. If both types of microorganisms are inoculated at the same cell density into a liquid culture containing naphthalene as the sole carbon source (i.e. the only food source), which microorganism will outcompete the other: the one with the higher Ks or the one with the lower Ks. Why?.

You have evaluated the rate of aerobic degradation of organic matter in an industrial wastewater and found that it does not follow normal Monod kinetics. After some testing, you have found that the substrate degradation rate follows the following relationship instead: -rut = k0.5XaS0.5 where -rut = substrate utilization rate (mg/L•day) k = 4 (L/mg•d2) S = substrate concentration (mg/L) Xa = active microbial concentration (mg/L) You have also determined coefficients of bacterial growth on this substrate under aerobic conditions to be Y = 0.25 g VSSa/g substrate and b = 0.08/d. (VSSa, active volatile suspended solids) Estimate the effluent substrate concentration when treating the above wastewater in a CSTR (continuously stirred tank reactor) with recycle while operating at a θx (MCRT, mean cell residence time) of 4 day.
