✦ Synopsis

In the work reported here, selected aspects of the dynamic behavior of biofilters for waste air treatment have been investigated. Emphasis was placed on transient state elimination of mixtures of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) vapors and on explanation of the observed phenomena. The initial startup, the response of the biofilter t o step changes in the pollutant loadings, responses to pollutant pulses, restarting after starvation, and the influence of step changes in gaseous phase oxygen partial pressure are presented and discussed.

## Abstract This paper presents the results of the study of the removal of toluene, ethylbenzene, and __o__‐xylene (TEX) by biofiltration using a commercial peat as filter‐bed material. Runs with a single organic compound in air, and with the mixture of TEX in air, were carried out for at least 55
