Simulation of the time courses of the volume-averaged species mass concentrations in the riser and downcomer of the ALR was performed, whereas the phenol and oxygen concentrations in the liquid phase were validated by corresponding experiments. Source-term comparisons between species interphase mass transfer and bioreaction were done to distinguish the rate-limiting step in the process. Moreover, local transient phenol biodegradation characteristics such as oxygen concentration profiles in the gas, liquid, and solid phases; phenol concentration profiles in the liquid and solid phases; and cell concentration profiles in the solid phase were all predicted reasonably well. Furthermore, the performances of the ALR and a bubble column reactor (BCR) were compared, and the advantage of the former reactor was confirmed.
