The biosorption performance of both batch and liquid-solid fluidized bed operations of dead fungal biomass type (Agaricusbisporus ) for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution was investigated. In batch system, the adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of dead fungal biomass were evaluated. In fluidized bed system, the experiments were conducted to study the effects of important parameters such as particle size (701-1400�m), initial dye concentration(10-100 mg/L), bed depth (5-15 cm) and solution flow rate (5-20 ml/min) on breakthrough curves. In batch method, the experimental data was modeled using several models (Langmuir,Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkviechmodels) to study equilibrium isotherms, the experimental data followed Langmuir model and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity obtained was (28.90, 24.15, 21.23 mg/g) at mean particle size (0.786, 0.935, 1.280 mm) respectively. In Fluidized-bed method, the results show that the total ion uptake and the overall capacity will be decreased with increasing flow rate and increased with increasing initial concentrations, bed depth and decreasing particle size.

A pilot scale study was conducted using an Air-Fluidized-Bed Biofilm Reactor (AFBBR) system with a Multi Media Filter (MMF). Soluble BOD (S-BOD) concentration in the effluent of the AFBBR had a correlation with total BOD (T-BOD) and Suspended Solids (SS) concentration in the effluent of the MMF. The lower the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was, the lower was not only T-BOD but also SS in the effluent of the MMF. It was found that as treatment proceeded, S-BOD was removed and the particle size of SS increased in the AFBBR. These results suggested that the mechanism of BOD removal in this system was: S-BOD was removed and a part of the S-BOD was changed to SS and the particle size of the SS increased in the AFBBR, and then the SS was removed by the MMF. Thus not only the T-BOD but also the SS in the effluent of MMF was lower when the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was lower. When the S-BOD in the effluent of the AFBBR was 8mg/L, T-BOD and the SS in the effluent of the MMF were 10mg/L and 4mg/L, respectively. In order to have an average S-BOD value in the effluent of the AFBBR of about 8mg/L, the T-BOD loading and the S-BOD loading needed to be less than 1.3kg/m3/day and 0.45 kg/m3/day, respectively. Even when the BOD loading was high, nitrification still occurred in this system.

Acacia gum is an important food emulsifier that presents poor instant properties which can be improved by fluidized bed agglomeration. This study investigated the influence of drying conditions on particle growth kinetics using an in-line particle size monitoring by spatial filter velocimetry. The drying conditions varied according to the binder flow rate and the fluidizing air temperature. The particle growth kinectis showed drying conditions dependence. At mild drying conditions the growth rate and the process yield were higher. The in-line particle size monitoring was useful to observe the influence of the drying conditions on the growth kinetics.Keywords: fluidized bed agglomeration; acacia gum; particle growth kinectis; in-line monitoring.
