Hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose a challenge to the removal efficiency
in biotrickling filters (BTFs). The addition of relatively hydrophilic substances presents a …

Synergism is an important strategy to enhance the bioavailability of pollutants and optimize
biotrickling filter (BTF) performance. The synergistic biodegradation of m-xylene with the …

Hydrophilic VOCs (volatile organic compounds) were applied to explore their positive
influence on the elimination of the single hydrophobic VOC in biotrickling filters (BTFs) …

This study describes the operation of two independent parallel laboratory-scale biotrickling
filters (BTFs) to degrade different types of binary volatile organic compound (VOC) mixtures …

Biotrickling filters (BTFs) are becoming very potential means to purify waste gases
containing multiple VOC components, but the removal of the waste gases by BTF has been …

In this study, one-and two-phase partitioning biotrickling filters (1P-BTF and 2P-BTF,
respectively) inoculated with a pre-acclimated mixed culture were examined for the removal …

Biotrickling filters (BTFs) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have attracted tremendous
research attention in the field of environmental engineering. However, the problem of …

The performance of biotrickling filters (BTFs) has been significantly affected during the co-
treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with different hydrophilicities. Removal of …

Industrial production processes produce large amounts of toluene, endangering human
health and air quality. The hydrophobicity of toluene limits the removal performance in …

Xylene is the main component of many volatile industrial pollution sources, and the use of
biotechnology to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has become a growing trend …
