TL;DR: The structured model includes multiple steps describing biochemical as well as physicochemical processes and the physico-chemical equations describe ion association and dissociation, and gas-liquid transfer.

TL;DR: This paper reviews the methods developed for determination of anaerobic biodegradability of macro-pollutants and main focus is paid to the final mineralization of organic compounds and the methane potential of compounds.

TL;DR: The IWA Task Group for Mathematical Modeling of Anaerobic Digestion Processes (IWA-MDP) was created with the aim of producing a generic model and common platform for dynamic simulations of a variety of anaerobic processes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A mathematical description of the surface related hydrolysis kinetics for spherical particles in a batch digestion is presented as well as a verification of this model with particulate starch as a substrate with good similarity with the theoretical PSD from model calculations.

TL;DR: The results indicated the feasibility of the UASB-septic tank for (pre)treatment of black water at low temperatures with respect to removal of suspended solids and dissolved organic material, and measuring the requirements as mgCOD l(-1) may not always be the best method, as the volume of the effluent discharged is also an important factor in the final amount of COD entering the receiving water bodies.
