Biosorption of procaine on biologically active carbon

Abstract

The article has studied the dynamics of biosorption purification of water of procaine adapted by biomass of active sludge immobilized on activated carbon. The greatest constant of the rate of biodestruction of procaine (0.151 h^–1) suspended by adapted biomass is observed at the concentration of the matter 100 mg/dm³. At biosorption removal of procaine on activated carbon under conditions of stirring the constants of the rates of biodestruction increase two–five times compared with suspended biomass. The adapted biofilm noticeably extend the service life of carbon compared with the spontaneously emerging biofilm at the sake of higher destruction activity.
