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

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

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

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 …

Emissions of n-alkanes are facing increasingly stringent management challenges.
Biotrickling filtration in the presence of surfactants is a competitive alternative for the …

Toluene has high toxicity and mutagenicity, thus, the removal of toluene from air is
necessary. In this study, two biotrickling filters (BTFs) were constructed and packed with …

Toluene is highly toxic and mutagenic, and it is generally used as an industrial solvent.
Thus, toluene removal from air is necessary. To solve the problem of reducing high toluene …

In this study, the biodegradation of a mixture of two trihalomethane (THM) compounds,
chloroform (CF) and dichlorobromomethane (DCBM), was evaluated using two laboratory …

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

In this work, ceramic pellets were used as packing material to establish a biotrickling filter
(BTF) with acclimated sludge being inoculated on the surface of the packing to purify waste …
