title = "Effect of roughness and thickness of biofilms on external mass transfer resistance",
abstract = "The effect of roughness and thickness of biofilms on the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration boundary layer thickness (DO CBLT) and the external mass transfer process in a biofilm system were investigated using a microelectrode technique. The experimental results indicated that (a) an increase of biofilm roughness would reduce the external mass transfer resistance; and (b) the absolute roughness increased with an increase in the biofilm maximum thickness, but this increase diminished when the biofilm thickness exceeded 1200 μm. The microelectrode technique is a useful tool to study the external mass transfer process.",
