Abstract: Although biofiltration has been used successfully to remove and biodegrade a wide variety of gas-phase organic contaminants generated by industrial facilities and environmental remediation efforts, the ability of conventional ...

Abstract: A polyurethane foam medium with characteristics described in Part I of this paper was tested in a toluene degrading biofilter to demonstrate its ability to support an active biofilm and to study feasibility of a novel ...

Abstract: Although biological treatment has been applied successfully to treat waste gases using conventional organic packing media such as compost, there is currently a need for further research on ways to optimize the medium ...

Abstract: Biological processes, most notably biofilters and biotrickling filters, are increasingly used to remove and biodegrade a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in gas streams emitted from industrial ...

Abstract: Filamentous fungi grow by extending and branching hyphae through soil pores, which creates an interconnected fibrous network known as mycelium. Fungal mycelium can cross-link and entangle soil particles, which reduces pore ...
