• Bioprocesses for air pollution control 

      Kennes, Christian; Rene, Eldon R.; Veiga, María Carmen (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)
      Bioprocesses have been developed as relatively recent alternatives to conventional, non-biological technologies, for waste gas treatment and air pollution control in general. This paper reviews major biodegradation processes ...
    • Inert filter media for the biofiltration of waste gases – characteristics and biomass control 

      Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Springer, 2002)
      Soil biofilters and related systems based onthe use of natural filter beds have been usedfor several years for solving specific airpollution problems. Over the past decade,significant improvements have been brought tothese ...
    • Mesophilic and thermophilic biotreatment of BTEX-polluted air in reactors 

      Mohammad, Balsam T.; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-08)
      This study compares the removal of a mixture of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and all three xylene isomers (BTEX) in mesophilic and thermophilic (50°C) bioreactors. In the mesophilic reactor fungi became dominant after ...
    • Optimization of the treatment of carbon monoxide-polluted air in biofilters 

      Jin, Yaomin; Guo, Ling; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Elsevier, 2009-01)
      This work is the first extensive study on the removal of carbon monoxide from polluted air in biofilters. It compares the performance of two packing materials, namely lava rock alone and a mixture of peat and lava rock. ...
    • Two-liquid-phase mesophilic and thermophilic biotrickling filters for the biodegradation of α-pinene 

      Montes, María; Veiga, María Carmen; Kennes, Christian (Elsevier, 2010-12)
      α-Pinene biodegradation was evaluated in mesophilic and thermophilic biotrickling filters. The potential of silicone oil for enhancing the removal was evaluated too, at both temperatures. Performance was studied at empty ...
