Performance of a biofilter for the removal of high concentrations of styrene under steady and non-steady state conditions
(Elsevier, 2009-08-30)
The performance of a laboratory scale perlite biofilter inoculated with a mixed culture was evaluated for gas phase styrene removal under various operating conditions. Experiments were carried out by subjecting the biofilter ...
Biofiltration of mixtures of gas-phase styrene and acetone with the fungus Sporothrix variecibatus
(Elsevier, 2010-12)
The biodegradation performance of a biofilter, inoculated with the fungus Sporothrix variecibatus, to treat gas-phase styrene and acetone mixtures under steady-state and transient conditions was evaluated. Experiments were ...
Mesophilic and thermophilic biotreatment of BTEX-polluted air in reactors
(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 ...
Performance optimization of the fungal biodegradation of α-pinene in gas-phase biofilter
(Elsevier, 2006-08)
A Ophiostoma species using α-pinene as the sole source of carbon and energy converted it into biomass, carbon dioxide and water. The strain was inoculated in a biofilter fed α-pinene polluted air, and it remained the ...
Biofilter performance and characterization of a biocatalyst degrading alkylbenzene gases
(2009-06)
A biofilter treating alkylbenzene vapors was characterized for its optimal running conditions and kinetic parame-ters. Kinetics of the continuous biofilter were compared to batch kinetic data obtained with biofilm samples ...
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 ...
Biodegradation of toluene by the new fungal isolates Paecilomyces variotii and Exophiala oligosperma Biotechnology. 2005;32(1):33-7
(Springer, 2005-02)
Two new fungal strains, namely Paecilomyces variotii and Exophiala oligosperma, were isolated on toluene as the sole carbon and energy source, mineralizing the substrate into carbon dioxide. Fungal strains isolated so far ...
