Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the removal of volatile pollutants under transient conditions in a two-stage bioreactor using artificial neural networks
TL;DR: The results show that artificial neural network (ANN) based models can effectively be used to model the transient-state performance of bioprocesses treating gas-phase pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Start-up, performance and optimization of a compost biofilter treating gas-phase mixture of benzene and toluene.
Eldon R. Rene,Saurajyoti Kar,Jagannathan Krishnan,Kannan Pakshirajan,M. Estefanía López,D. V. S. Murthy,T. Swaminathan +6 more
TL;DR: The performance of a compost biofilter inoculated with mixed microbial consortium was optimized for treating a gas-phase mixture of benzene and toluene, and the effects of concentration and flow rate on the removal efficiency and elimination capacity were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of concentration and gas flow rate on the removal of gas-phase toluene and xylene mixture in a compost biofilter
Eldon R. Rene,Eldon R. Rene,Natalia Sergienko,Torsha Goswami,M. Estefanía López,Gopalakrishnan Kumar,Ganesh Dattatraya Saratale,Perumal Venkatachalam,Kannan Pakshirajan,T. Swaminathan +9 more
TL;DR: Study of a compost/ceramic bead biofilter for the removal of gas-phase toluene and xylene at different inlet loading rates found that xylene removal was severely inhibited by the presence of toLUene than toluenes removal by the absence of xylene.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-stage biotrickling filter for the removal of a mixture of volatile pollutants from air: Performance and microbial community analysis
M. Estefanía López,Eldon R. Rene,Luc Malhautier,Janick Rocher,Sandrine Bayle,María C. Veiga,Christian Kennes +6 more
TL;DR: The biodegradation of gas-phase mixtures of methanol, α-pinene and H2S was examined in a biotrickling filter inoculated with a microbial consortium composed of an autotrophic H 2S-degrading culture, and pure strains of Candida boidinii, Rhodococcus erythropolis, and Ophiostoma stenoceras.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a fungal monolith bioreactor for the removal of styrene from polluted air.
TL;DR: The performance of the monolith bioreactor decreased significantly at low residence times, when subjected to high shock loads, and the biodegradation efficiency decreased significantly.
