Effectiveness of biosurfactant for the removal of trihalomethanes by biotrickling filter

Abstract: In this study, the biodegradation of a mixture of two trihalomethane (THM) compounds, chloroform (CF) and dichlorobromomethane (DCBM), was evaluated using two laboratory‐scale biotrickling filters (BTFs). The two BTFs, hereby designated as “BTF‐A” and “BTF‐B,” were run parallel and used ethanol as co‐metabolite at different loading rates (LRs), and a lipopeptide‐type biosurfactant that was generated by the gram‐positive bacteria, Surfactin, respectively. The results using BTF‐A showed that adding ethanol at a … Show more

“…Extreme water deficit events are becoming increasingly frequent because of climate change [ 1 , 2 ]. These events occur mainly due to sparse or absent rain and hydroclimatic variability, causing significant constrictions in food production [ 3 ]. Water deficits are by far the most complex abiotic stress, affecting plant growth, development, survival and crop productivity globally [ 4 ].…”
