TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of mixtures of two ketones, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobutyl (MIBK), from effluent air streams in downward flow biofilters operating at relative humidities in excess of 95 percent was reported.
Abstract: The work reported concerns the removal of mixtures of two ketones, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which find wide application as industrial solvents, from effluent air streams in downward flow biofilters operating at relative humidities in excess of 95 percent. The inlet concentrations of the two pollutants were 300 mg m−3MEK and 330 mg m−3MIBK. Maximum elimination capacities achieved were 50 g m−3h−1 for MEK and 20 g m−3h−1 for MIBK. Marked interaction between the elimination of the two ketones was observed and established biophysical models for the kinetic analysis of biofilter operation proved inadequate as far as the complex processes involved in multi-component biodegradable vapour elimination were concerned. The complexity of such systems requires further definition and the development of appropriate models for process evaluation and design.

TL;DR: The chemical structures and morphologies of the solid residues were investigated, demonstrating the gradual conversion process of cellulose and hemicellulose accompanied by the formation of humin byproducts, whereas the lignin fraction of the straw sustains the scaffold structure without modifications during the reaction.

TL;DR: In this article, a microporous hydrophobic hollow fiber based membrane extractor has been used to remove a number of priority organic pollutants simultaneously from a synthetic high strengh aqueous waste stream.
Abstract: A recently developed nondispersive microporous membrane-beed solvent extraction technique has been used to remove a number of priority organic pollutants simultaneously from a synthetic high strengh aqueous waste stream. A microporous hydrophobic hollow fiber based membrane extractor having an order of magnitude higher contact area than conventional extraction devices he been used. The pollutants were phenol, 2-chlorophenol, nitrobenzene, toluene, andacrylonitrile. The extracting solvents were methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), isopropyl acetate (IPAc), and hexane
