Experiments during a period of 93 days are reported on the treatment of waste air containing toluene vapor using a laboratory scale biofilter system packed with peat inoculated with specific florae (Pseudomonas type) and intermittently humidified with a nutrient solution necessary for the survival of the micro-organisms. Design and operation parameters were regularly measured in order to check the performance of the biodegradation process.Under
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
