“…Organic media naturally biodegrade, however, and have a limited application lifetime (Saliling et al 2007). Adsorptive media are considered beneficial for rapid startup and for minimizing transient loading effects (Duan et al 2006;Oh et al 2009). Layering of media was found to more evenly distribute gas flow, resulting in more consistent performance (Yang et al 2003).…”

The biofilter system containing tire-derived rubber particle (TDRP) filter media was utilized to treat the odorous gas contaminant, hydrogen sulfide, in consideration of the economic advantage of reusing discarded tire materials and the high potential of TDRP media for biofilm attachment. The pilot-scale system having 0.38 m 3 of bed volume operated with synthetic hydrogen sulfide gas on continuous basis from a range of 0.34 to 1.15 m 3 /min. This bioreactor system achieved over 94% removal efficiency at 20-90 ppm of inlet H 2 S concentration while operating in 20-67 s of empty bed retention time, indicating that overall effective operation was performed at mass loading rates of H 2 S ranging from 19.6 to 28.5 g H 2 S/ (m 3 h). It was apparent by the effectiveness of the system's performance that this system had the capability to effectively remove hydrogen sulfide with high efficiency over a range of concentrations. A maximum elimination capacity was not found for the biofilter during this study, which tested loading rates between 0 and 30 g H 2 S/(m 3 h).

“…With high surface area and pore volumes, activated carbons have been efficiently used in many gas pollution detection processes (Duan et al 2006;Ramirez et al 2010), and the detection of VOCs can be achieved with further desorption treatment. Carbon disulfide is a favorable solvent for desorption of nonpolar compounds due to its physicochemical properties, such as low response value on the detector, and the fact that it can be eluted rapidly on GC columns (Harper 2000;Woolfenden 2010).…”

In this work, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the ambient air of a secondary fiber paper mill were analyzed. For the sake of studying pollution comprehensively, four sites in the paper mill were analyzed and active sampling methods were used. Desorption was carried out with two solvents, carbon disulfide and dichloromethane. The compositions of VOCs were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. The main identified substances in the four sites were as follows: (1) waste paper sorting room: alkanes, phenols, and esters; (2) papermaking workshop: benzene series, alkanes, ethers, and phenols; (3) vacuum pump outlet: benzene series and phenols; and (4) office area: benzene series and phenols. Two main toxic substances in VOCs, the benzene series and phenols, were detected in the ambient air of the paper mill. The benzene series existed in three places along the main process of the paper mill and even existed in the office area, which was far away from the production line. Additionally, phenols were detected in all sampling locations in the paper mill.

“…Air pollution emissions from publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) are a mixture of VOCs such as toluene and odorous compounds, for example hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) (Liang et al, 2007). Many studies have focused on the elimination of either toluene or H 2 S from off-gases, and bioreactors are universally used because of their simplicity and cost effectiveness (Dorado et al, 2008;Duan et al, 2006;Groenestijn and Kraakman, 2005;Morgan-Sagastume and Noyola, 2006;Pedersen and Arvin, 1997). Various physicochemical parameters and characteristics of microbial communities have been investigated to optimize bioreactor performance (Auria et al, 2000;Morales et al, 2003).…”
