## Abstract Two laboratoryβscale biofilters filled with the same type of packing material were operated at different gas flow rates and influent concentrations of toluene and xylene in order to investigate their performance in treating waste gas streams. The columns contained a mixture of municipal

The removal of toluene from an experimental gas-stream was studied in an industrial biofilter filled with poplar wood bark. Toluene degradation, approximately 85% through the operating period, resulted in low levels of toluene in the off-gas effluent. For a toluene load of 6.7 g m -3 h -1 the elimin
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) are commonly mixed together in the effluent streams from the manufacturing of semiconductors and opticsβelectronics. The metabolic activity on the biodegradation of two or more pollutants may involve induction, inhibition or coβmetab
This article reports on the biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in a hollow-fiber membrane biofilter. Air contaminated with TCE was passed through microporous hollow fibers while an oxygen-free nutrient solution was recirculated through the shell side ofthe membrane module. The biomass was att
