摘要
The role of aggregates and their characteristics on bioremediation in soil has received very little attention. In this investigation, the contaminated aggregates bioremediation (CAB) model has been developed and simulated to analyze the bioremediation of soil and water in the aggregates. The model equations consist of a system of three non-linear partial differential equations. Dimensional analysis of the equations has been performed. Sensitivity analysis conducted by numerically solving them has demonstrated the effects of aggregate radius, partition coefficient, and initial contaminant concentration on the time and mechanism of remediation. The rates of diffusion of substrate and oxygen, and the biodegradation-rate have been found to be the controlling mechanisms for remediation in the aggregates.
