“…A commercially available composite membrane, which has been used in most studies on hydrogen-based MBfRs (Lee and Rittmann, 2000 ), consists of a 1-μ m thick non-porous polyurethane layer sandwiched between two microporous polyethylene layers. Several biofi lter MBfR studies have used composite membranes consisting of a porous layer coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) (De Bo et al ., 2002 ;Jacobs et al ., 2004 ;Kumar et al ., 2008Kumar et al ., , 2009van Langenhove et al ., 2004 ).…”

This article provides an overview about the microbes selecting, types of bioreactors, the treatment condition, etc. which influence the odors abatement effect. In the recent past, many highly efficiency microorganisms on the actual governance of malodorous gases have been selected and trained. Among different bioreactor configurations, biofilters, biotrickling filters and bioscrubbers are most common ones. The membrane bioreactor and the three phase fluidised bed bioreactor as new bioreactors have broad development prospects. Finally, this review also provides how to insights into future R&D needs in this area.

“…Various reports document the treatment of methanethiol‐and dimethylsulfide‐containing waste streams, both aerobically [10–15] and anaerobically [16–18]. At very low concentrations (μM level), sulfate‐reducing bacteria compete for methanethiol and dimethylsulfide with methanogens in sulfate‐rich anoxic sediments [19].…”

A variety of environmental samples was screened for anaerobic degradation of methanethiol, ethanethiol, propanethiol, dimethylsulfide, and dimethyldisulfide. All sludge and sediment samples degraded methanethiol, dimethylsulfide, and dimethyldisulfide anaerobically. In contrast, ethanethiol and propanethiol were not degraded by the samples investigated under any of the conditions tested. Methanethiol, dimethylsulfide, and dimethyldisulfide were mainly degraded by methanogenic archaea. In the presence of sulfate and the methanogenic inhibitor bromoethane sulfonate, degradation of these compounds coupled to sulfate reduction occurred as well, but at much lower rates. Besides their biodegradability, also the toxicity of methanethiol, ethanethiol, and propanethiol to methanogenesis with methanol, acetate, and H2/CO2 as the substrates was assessed. The 50% inhibition concentration of methanethiol on the methane production from these substrates ranged between 7 and 10 mM. The 50% inhibition concentration values of ethanethiol and propanethiol for the degradation of methanol and acetate were between 6 and 8 mM, whereas hydrogen consumers were less affected by ethanethiol and propanethiol, as indicated by their higher 50% inhibition concentration (14 mM). Sulfide inhibited methanethiol degradation already at relatively low concentrations: methanethiol degradation was almost completely inhibited at an initial sulfide concentration of 8 mM. These results define the operational limits of anaerobic technologies for the treatment of volatile organic sulfur compounds in sulfide-containing wastewater streams.
