The rotating biological contactor is an attached growth biological treatment used in removal of biodegradable matter present in wastewater is popular due to its simplicity low energy requirement, low land requirement, stable in various shock loading and recirculation not required and low hydraulic retention time. This review paper focuses on various controlling parameter of RBC like organic loa...

CEB Biofilm Group In biological denitrification of wastewater nitrate (NO3 -) or nitrite (NO2 -) are converted into nitrogen gas (N2), in the absence of dissolved oxygen (DO) or under limited DO concentrations. A rotating biological contactor (RBC) is an attached growth bioreactor, that constitutes a very unique and superior alternative technology for carbon oxidation, phosphorus removal, nitri...

The recent advent of angular optical trapping techniques has allowed for rotational control and direct torque measurement on biological substrates. Here we present a method that increases the versatility and flexibility of these techniques. We demonstrate that a single beam with a rapidly rotating linear polarization can be utilized to apply a constant controllable torque to a trapped particle ...

This article explores the heat and mass transfer behaviour of magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow past a permeable vertical rotating cone and a plate filled with gyrotactic microorganisms in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation, thermo diffusion and diffusion thermo effects. We presented dual solutions for the flow over a rotating cone and a rotating flat plate cases. Similarity var...
