Spatial and Temporal Variability of Water Quality in the Bystrzyca River Basin, Poland
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of surface water quality tests carried out in the Bystrzyca river basin were analyzed using principal component analysis with factor analysis (PCA/FA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and discriminant analysis (DA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Steady State, transient behavior and kinetic modeling of benzene removal in an aerobic biofilter
TL;DR: The performance of the benzene microbial biofilter conducted under both continuous and transient operations was studied and the kinetics of biofilter was investigated using the macrokinetic method and application of the Michaelis-Menten model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of betaine on the removal of toluene by biofiltration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of research showing relation the application of a chosen surfactant (Betaine) to the efficiency of toluene biofiltration.

Potential Microbiological Threat to the Vistula Waters by its Tributaries in the Vicinity of Krakow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess microbiological hazard to the Vistula waters from its tributaries in the vicinity of Krakow, and the results show that the examined watercourses do not pose a serious threat to the quality and microbiological purity.

Development and Validation of a Simple Protocol To Rapidly Determine the Performance of Biofilters for VOC Treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a protocol for the rapid determination of complete elimination characteristics of target pollutants in waste air biofilters, which involves the determination of two pollutant concentration profiles along the height of a three-segment biofilter under carefully chosen conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sugarcane bagasse as alternative packing material for biofiltration of benzene polluted gaseous streams: a preliminary study.
TL;DR: This was a preliminary study and the results obtained suggest only a limited application with more work needed, but the influence of the packing material characteristics upon the biofilter effectiveness is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Media Nitrogen Concentration on Biofilter Performance
TL;DR: Results showed that microbially accessible nitrogen in the areas of highest microbial activity were depleted when toluene loading rates were 30 g/m3-h or greater, which led to a marked reduction in performance in terms of the VOC elimination rate of the biofilter.

Growth kinetics of Pseudomonas alcaligenes C-0 relative to inoculation and 3-chlorobenzoate metabolism in soil.
Dennis D. Focht,D Shelton +1 more
TL;DR: Since the growth rate of P. alcaligenes C-0 in soil was comparable to its growth rate in culture, inoculation should be a viable strategy for biodegradation of 3CB in soil if indigenous microflora are unable to exploit this metabolic niche.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of benzene-contaminated airstreams in laboratory-scale biofilters packed with raw and sieved sugarcane bagasse and with peat.
TL;DR: The macrokinetics of the process were studied using the profiles of benzene and biomassconcentrations, collected under different conditions over the height of both biofilters, and a zeroth-order kinetic model was shown to describe successfully the degradation process.
