Mass transfer and kinetic limitations are two obstacles to the removal of a pollutant from the
gas phase in a biofilter (BF) or a biotrickling filter (BTF). The issue becomes more …

The biological removal of pollutants, especially through biotrickling filters (BTFs), has
recently become attractive for the low investment and operational costs and the low …

The removal of cyclohexane from gaseous emissions was studied using a biotrickling filter
packed with polyurethane foam. Acivodorax sp. CHX100 was chosen as inoculum due to its …

The tendency for BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes) to spread
into all compartments of the environment together with their influence on both ecosystem …

Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are the main pollutants of nitrogen oxides (NO
x) released during a combustion process. They induce harmful effects both to the …

This study investigates the use of electrically conductive granules as packing material in
biotrickling filter (BTF) systems as to provide insights on the specific microbial abundance …

Two kinds of packing materials, molecular sieve (MS) and polyurethane foam (PUF), were
loaded into two identical biotrickling filters respectively to compare the microbial removal …

The obvious disadvantages of biotrickling filters (BTFs) are the long start-up time and low
removal efficiency (RE) when treating refractory hydrophobic volatile organic compounds …

The removal of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) from air was
investigated in two similar biotrickling filters (BTFs) packed with polyurethane (PU) foam …

The remediation of groundwater contaminated with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and
the xylenes (BTEX) typically involves in situ biodegradation. Although the mechanisms of …
