From: Kinetics and statistical analysis of the bio-stimulating effects of goat litter in crude oil biodegradation process

COCS-GL				Control
Initial CO conc. (gL⁻¹)	K₂ (day¯¹)	T₂½ (gL⁻¹day⁻¹)	R²	Initial CO conc. (gL⁻¹)	K₂ (day⁻¹)	T₂½ (gL⁻¹day⁻¹)	R²
50	0.012	22	0.981	50	0.012	35	0.912
70	0.015	20	0.896	70	0.014	28	0.813
90	0.028	15	0.971	90	0.024	21	0.766

K₂ is the second-order rate constant (day⁻¹), T₂½ is second-order biological half-life (gL⁻¹day⁻¹)
