โฆ Synopsis
We investigate in this article the use of reduction techniques in air pollution modeling. The reduction of chemical kinetics is performed on the basis of a timescale analysis and of lumping. Lumping techniques are widely used in air pollution modeling and consist of replacing some pure chemical species by linear combinations of species. We focus here on the theoretical justification of such techniques. We propose an algorithm in order to build up lumped species in a systematic way. An application to three kinetic schemes coupled with diffusion is presented in a monodimensional case. This justifies the way we couple a reduced kinetic scheme with other processes.

## Abstract The kinetics of a detailed chemically reacting system can potentially be very complex. Although the chemist may be interested in only a few species, the reaction model almost always involves a much larger number of species. Some of those species are radicals, which are very reactive spe
Kinetics of bacterial reduction of toxic hexavalent chromium (chromate: Cr04'-) was investigated using batch and fedbatch cultures of Enterobacter cloacae strain H01. In fedbatch cultures, the Cr04'-feed was controlled on the basis of the rate of pH change. This control strategy has proven to be use
