Experimental and neural model analysis of styrene removal from polluted air in a biofilter
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-07)BACKGROUND: Biofilters are efficient systems for treating malodorous emissions. The mechanism involved during pollutant transfer and subsequent biotransformation within a biofilm is a complex process. The use of artificial ... -
Factors Affecting the Optimisation and Scale-up of Lipid Accumulation in Oleaginous Yeasts for Sustainable Biofuels Production
(Elsevier, 2022-11-12)[Abstract] The recent unprecedented increase in energy demand has led to a growing interest in emerging alternatives such as the production of microbial lipids with high energy density and environmentally-friendly ... -
Formaldehyde and urea removal in a denitrifying granular sludge blanket reactor
(Elsevier, 2004-09)Simultaneous formaldehyde biodegradation, urea hydrolysis and denitrification in anoxic batch assays and in a continuous laboratory anoxic reactor were investigated. In batch assays, the initial formaldehyde biodegradation ... -
Formaldehyde biodegradation and its effect on the denitrification process
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)Simultaneous formaldehyde biodegradation and denitrification in batch assays and in a continuous lab-scale reactor were studied. In batch assays, initial biodegradation rates between 0.7 and 3.3 g CH2O g VSS-1 d-1 were ... -
Formaldehyde biodegradation and its inhibitory effect on nitrification
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-05)The simultaneous removal of formaldehyde and ammonium in aerobic cultures and the inhibitory effect of formaldehyde on ammonium oxidation were investigated. The influence of a co-substrate, methanol, on formaldehyde ... -
Formaldehyde biodegradation in the presence of methanol under denitrifying conditions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006)Simultaneous formaldehyde and methanol biodegradation and also denitrification were studied in batch assays and in a continuous laboratory-scale reactor. In batch assays, high formaldehyde concentrations (up to 1360 mg ... -
Fungal biocatalysts in the biofiltration of VOC-polluted air
(Elsevier, 2004-09-30)Gas-phase biofilters used for the treatment of waste gases were originally packed with compost or other natural filter beds containing indigenous microorganisms. Over the past decade much effort has been made to develop ... -
Fungal biofiltration of α-pinene: Effects of temperature, relative humidity, and transient loads
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2007-02)Over the past decade much effort has been made to develop new carrier materials, more performant biocatalysts, and new types of bioreactors for waste gas treatment. In biofilters fungal biocatalysts are more resistant to ... -
Hydrodynamic behaviour and comparison of technologies for the removal of excess biomass in gas-phase biofilters
(Elsevier, 2004)The hydrodynamic behaviour of a biofilter fed toluene and packed with an inert carrier was evaluated on start-up and after long-term operation, using both methane and styrene as tracers in Residence Time Distribution ... -
Inert filter media for the biofiltration of waste gases – characteristics and biomass control
(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 ... -
Influence of Electron Acceptors on Hexanoic Acid Production by Clostridium Kluyveri
(Elsevier, 2019-05-07)[Abstract] Clostridium kluyveri was used for chain elongation of C2C4 fatty acids in stirred tank bioreactors. The influence of different electron acceptors (acetic acid, butyric acid and the mixture of both) on C6 fatty ... -
Influence of feedstock mix ratio on microbial dynamics during acidogenic fermentation for polyhydroxyalkanoates production
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)[Abstract] The nature of microbial populations plays an essential role in the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) during acidogenesis, the first stage in polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production using mixed cultures. ... -
Kinetics of inhibition in the biodegradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons in presence of heavy metals
(Elsevier Sciencie lted, 2001-06)The toxicity and inhibitory effects of heavy metals such as cadmium, nickel and zinc on alkylbenzene removal were evaluated with a Bacillus strain. The kinetics of alkylbenzene biodegradation with the different heavy metals ... -
