TL;DR: A more detailed review of biofiltration is proposed, presenting the most recent and latest developments achieved in the field of bioprocessing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a phenomenological approach based on the definition of a severity parameter R = t∗exp[T − 100)/14·75] which combines time, t (min), and temperature, T (°C), to express the severity of a given pretreatment, was developed.

TL;DR: The use of cheese whey permeate in mixotrophic microalgae cultures is proposed, showing that pure lactose, the main constituent of WP, can support Scenedesmus growth under heterotrophic culture conditions (absence of light).

TL;DR: A detailed review of the literature on methane bio-filtration is presented in this article, where microorganisms, mainly the methanotrophs, involved in the methane biodegradation process, and their needs in terms of oxygen and carbon dioxide utilization are described.

TL;DR: Investigation of air biofiltration for removal of the volatile organic compounds from air polluted streams found that the metabolism of toluene biodegradation was inhibited by the presence of xylene, and a steady state mathematical model was tested in order to theoretically describe the experimental results.
