Mathematical simulation of the process of biofiltration of aromatic compound solutions through a dense layer of activated carbon during the water treatment

Using the biofiltration of o -nitrophenol and anthranilic acid solutions as an example, it has been shown that the computer-aided simulation can be applied for calculating the water treatment efficiency by the orthogonal collocation and finite difference methods using the Crank-Nicholson scheme. It was ascertained that the simulation results well agreed with experimental data. It was also shown that the computer-aided simulation can be applied for the development of effective water treatment systems.
