## Abstract An external loop airlift bioreactor (ELAB) has been used to capture and degrade toluene from a contaminated air stream. Using a spinning sparger, the toluene could be transferred from small, uniform bubbles into the aqueous culture media with an overall mass transfer coefficient as high

## Abstract An external loop airlift bioreactor with a small amount (99% porosity) of stainless steel mesh packing inserted in the riser section was used for bioremediation of a phenol‐polluted air stream. The packing enhanced volatile organic chemical and oxygen mass transfer rates and provided a
## Abstract Toluene, a kind of volatile organic compound (VOC), is widely used as a solvent (paints and coatings, gums, resins, rubber) as well as a reagent (medicines, dyes, perfumes) and is one of the components of gasoline. Over the more recent decades, many studies have led to the development o
## Abstract This article reports the submerged culture of the entomopathogenic nematode __Steinernema carpocapsae__ and its symbiotic bacterium, __Xenorhabdus nematophila__, within an internal‐loop airlift bioreactor. Two configurations of the inner cylinder were tested: a standard draft tube (SDT)
