RETENTION AND REMOVAL OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA IN WASTEWATER PERCOLATINGTHROUG H POROUS MEDIA: A REVIEW

The retention and elimination of microbial cells in biological wastewater filter systems is influenced by several factors. For example, immobilization of microbial cells moving through a porous media is influenced by mechanisms such as physical straining as well as adsorption to porous media. In this review, other factors are discussed.
