Journal ArticleDOI
Performance evaluation of a compost biofilter treating toluene vapours
TL;DR: In this paper, a compost-based biofilter unit inoculated with a mixed microbial population was examined to treat toluene vapours from a synthetic and real gas stream, and the potential of the biofilter to handle industrial gas mixtures was proved with operation using a real sample from a pharmaceutical industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical optimization of lipase catalyzed hydrolysis of methyloleate by response surface methodology
TL;DR: In this paper, the cumulative interactive effect of substrate, water concentration and time was studied in optimizing the hydrolysis of methyloleate using lipase from Chromobacterium viscosum immobilized on IRC-50.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilm Structure and Extracellular Polymeric Substances in Low and High Dissolved Oxygen Membrane Bioreactors
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) on the biofilm structure in membrane bioreactor (MBR) and their consequence on membrane permeability and EPS were discussed.

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
Study of lactic acid extraction with higher molecular weight aliphatic amines
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of organic phase extractant concentration and aqueous phase pH on the extraction process were examined with two extractants, trioctyl amine (TOA) and Aliquat 336, in three diluents (methylisobutyl ketone, octanol and paraffin liquid).
