Soil biofilters and related systems based onthe use of natural filter beds have been usedfor several years for solving specific airpollution problems. Over the past decade,significant improvements have been brought tothese original bioprocesses, among which thedevelopment and use of new inert packingmaterials. The present paper overviews the mostcommon inert packings used in biofiltration ofwas...

Biofilters (BFs) and biotrickling filters (BTFs) are two types of bioreactors used for treatment volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Both BFs BTFs use packing materials in which various microorganisms immobilised. The water phase is stationary to maintain the humidity materials, while have a mobile liquid phase. Optimisation irrigation crucial effective performance BTFs. A literature review pres...

The abundance of nutrient accumulation in rhizosphere soils has placed the as an “epicenter” bacterial concentrations. Nonetheless, over years, little attention been given to inoculants and soil-like substrates. reason is that many farmers experiments have focused on chemical fertilizers approach improve plant growth yield. Therefore, we assessing application soil its associated bacteria for bi...

Biotechnologies are a feasible alternative for indoor air pollutant abatement. Among biotechnologies, bioactive coatings consist of microorganisms embedded in polymeric matrices, allowing direct contact between and gas pollutants, thus enhancing their Three bioreactors (BR1, BR2 BR3) were inoculated with VOC-degrading enriched culture, latex coating the fresh activated sludge. The influence emp...
