Abstract
The kinetics of methane-oxidizing bioreactors for the degradation of toxic organics are modeled. Calculations of the fluxes of methane and chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) were made using biofilm model. The model simulates the effects of competition by toxics and methane on their enzymatic oxidation by the methane mono-oxygenase.
