Abstract

The paper reviews the developments in the mathematical modelling of important aerobic biofilm processes-nitrification, combined carbon oxidation and nitrification, simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) and simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation - that have been made during the past two decades. This article coniders only a selection of those publications that have created a significant impact on the trends and techniques of modeling of these processes. The recent advances in the areas of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification as well as bioregeneration of the activated carbon have also been summarized.
