Evaluation of biofiltration of air: an innovative air pollution control technology.

Author(s) : JANNI K. A., MAIER W. J., KUEHN T. H., et al.

Summary

Biofiltration uses microorganisms to oxidize air contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and oxidizable inorganic gases and vapors. The byproducts of microbial oxidation are primarily water, carbon dioxide, mineral salts, some VOCs, and microbial biomass. Biofiltration can provide complete destruction of some VOCs and oxidizable inorganic contaminants.
