Mathematical Modelling Of Cyanide Inhibition on Cassava Wastewater Treatment

Anaerobic Baffled Reactors (ABR) is used to evaluate the extent of cyanide inhibition of cassava wastewater treatment. The reactor has aspect ratio of 4:1:1. Kinetic analyses of specific growth rate μmax and half saturation constant ks are evaluated for the reactor. For non-inhibited cassava wastewater treatment, Monod model yields μmax = 10.87 day -1 ; and ks = 0.87 mgCODL . Coefficient of determination R is used to verify the model to yield value of 0. 917 for Monod model. For inhibited cassava wastewater treatment, the inhibition constant ki is evaluated from the reactor as 1. 172 ∗ 10 mgCyanide/L. This clearly indicates that the extent of cyanide inhibition of cassava waste water treatment is minimal.
