TLDR
A biofiltration system using peat as solid support inoculated with Thiobacillus thioparus was developed for treating a gaseous stream containing high concentrations of H2S, and Mathematical modelling based on Ottengraf's model enabled a prediction of the performance of the biofilter.About:

Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in environmental technology.
Dana Pokorna,Jana Zabranska +1 more
TL;DR: Biological desulfurization methods are currently promoted to abiotic methods because they are less expensive and do not produce undesirable materials which must be disposed of.
Removal of hydrogen sulfide from gas streams using biological processes - a review.
TL;DR: Future research needs include the optimization of the anaerobic biofiltration process, the development of a system combining the advantages of phototrophic and chemotrophic bacteria and the possible co-removal of siloxanes within this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological methods for odor treatment – A review
TL;DR: Odors are emitted from agricultural and industrial activities, such as animal farms, rendering plants, wastewater treatment plants, waste treatment or disposal facilities, paint shops, oil refineries, pulp and paper mills, and various chemical industries as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of hydrogen sulfide by immobilized Thiobacillus thioparus in a biotrickling filter packed with polyurethane foam.
TL;DR: A biotrickling filter with Thiobacillus thioparus immobilized on polyurethane foam is proposed for the removal of hydrogen sulfide contained in air and the removal efficiency was higher than 99% for an EBRT over 90 s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of hydrogen sulfide by sulfate-resistant Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans AZ11.
TL;DR: Findings show for the first time that a sulfur oxidation bacterium has a high sulfate tolerance and a high sulfur oxidizing activity below pH 1.5, and this strain is identified as having the highest tolerance for sulfate.

Biofiltration Control of Hydrogen Sulfide 1. Design and Operational Parameters
Yonghua Yang,Eric R. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of various filter bed operating parameters such as temperature, retention time, H2S concentration, and loading rate on removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in waste gas has been evaluated.
