Evaluation of the Kinetic Threshold Concentration of Phenol Biodegradation

Threshold concentrations of biodegradation exist and must be considered in biological process, and these limits may be related to reactio n kinetics and thermodynamics. This paper provided a method to evaluate the kinet ic threshold concentration of phenol biodegradation. The results show that the minimum concentration value is 0.022 mg/L, which is validated with batch exp eriments.
