Landfill gases (LFGs) are gaseous emissions containing several harmful compounds such as volatile organic (VOCs), inorganic (VICs) along with methane (CH4) which is a powerful greenhouse gas. In the case of small or older landfills, disposal LFG can be economically challenging, and possible solution biofiltration. Biofiltration CH4 in presence two VOCs was studied, ethylbenzene (EB) for biofilt...

Interactive effects of solar radiation and inorganic nitrogen phosphate on biofiltration capacity, biomass production, photosynthetic activity the accumulation bio-active compounds were studied in red alga Gracilaria cornea grown tanks with a seawater open-flow system during 35 days. Two light conditions utilized: outdoor (O), full natural radiation, indoor, inside greenhouse (G) where UV-B was...

Over the past decade, the environmental impact of wastes discharged from high-density flow-through fish-production systems has been viewed with increasing concern. Recirculating aquaculture systems are gaining wider acceptance because of their ability to reduce waste discharges, improve quality control, and reduce costs. The crucial processes that must be addressed in treating recirculating wat...

The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments prompted an increased urgency to find new ways to treat airstreams containing volatile organic compounds, which affect the nitrogen photolytic cycle and help produce ground-level ozone, hazardous air pollutants, and odorous air emissions such as hydrogen sulfide. Scientists at the New Jersey company Envirogen have adapted traditional biofiltration technology to...
