Download or read book Biofiltration for Air Pollution Control written by Joseph S. Devinny and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number-one environmental threat to public health, air pollution remains a pressing problem-made even more complicated by the massive quantity and diversity of air pollution sources. Biofiltration technology (using micro-organisms growing on porous media) is being recognized as one of the most advantageous means to convert pollutants to harmless products. Done properly, biofiltration works at a reasonable cost-utilizing inexpensive components, without requiring fuel or generating hazardous by-products. Firmly established in Europe, biofiltration techniques are being increasingly applied in North America: Biofiltration for Air Pollution Control offers the necessary knowledge to "do it right."

Download or read book Environmental Biotechnology written by Lawrence K. Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide that positive actions be taken to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution – air, water, soil, and noise. Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste production, the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unrealistic demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste continues to exist, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identi ed: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? This book is one of the volumes of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series. The principal intention of this series is to help readers formulate answers to the last two questions above. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to speci c pollution problems has been a major contributing factor to the success of environmental engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the establishment of a “methodology of pollution control. ” However, the realization of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental problems renders it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.

Download or read book Biological Odour Treatment written by Pratima Bajpai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing the very latest technologies for neutralising the unpleasant—and sometimes dangerous—odours from industrial and waste management processes, this Springer Brief in Environmental Sciences covers physical, chemical and biological methods. The volume includes modern biotechnological approaches now making it cost-effective to tackle malodorous chemicals at very small concentrations. The book reflects the fact that odour affects us in several ways, which range from compromising our quality of life to causing respiratory and other unpleasant conditions and from depressing property values to severe health problems caused by the toxic stimulants of odours. Innumerable industrial processes release malodourous and harmful vapours. The human sense of smell can detect some noxious chemicals, such as the sulphurous by-products of paper manufacturing, at concentrations of one part per billion. This e-book shows what has been achieved in combating offensive and harmful odours. While conventional air pollution control technologies can treat a wide variety of pollutants at higher concentrations, the chapters cover the more refined biological methods used to deal with odours and volatile organic compounds in low concentrations. These include bio scrubbers and bio trickling filters. Standing alongside its detailed discussion of the health impacts of total reduced sulphur compounds, and the composition of paper pulp industry emissions, this publication offers comprehensive and in-depth treatment of some of the most potent anti-odour technologies yet devised.

This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Chemistry - Bio-chemistry, , course: Master Degree, language: English, abstract: Modern air pollution control technologies have emerged over the past 40 years to mitigate emission problems in industrial facilities and thereby comply with environmental regulations. A variety of technologies have been developed to meet the needs of both the industries and the regulatory agencies keeping in view the techno economics. Some air pollutants like H2S, NH3 and VOC’s are emitted in the industry causes odour and this not only causes occupational health but also damages public image of the company. Engineered biofiltration is a sustainable technology for VOC and odor control. Bio-filtration is a method of pollution control in which pollutants are biologically degraded using microorganisms. Generally, the energy demands for biofiltration are one-fourth to one-tenth that of physico-chemical destructive technologies. Biofilters are being developed and effectively used for a wide variety of industries, including wood products, paint manufacturing, petroleum remediation etc. Biofilters are cost-effective and straightforward options for pollutants capable of biodegrading reasonably easily. Triethylamine(TEA) is a Volatile organic compound widely used as a catalyst for polymerization reactions and a solvent and corrosion inhibitor in industry and it is also used as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including pesticides. It is necessary to remove TEA from water and gas in the environment. TEA gas-phase bio treatment has emerged as an effective and inexpensive alternative to conventional physicochemical treatment systems. The technology is still under development in terms of economics, equipment, process kinetics, and operational skills and different layouts and flow trains are being proposed including biofiltration, biotrickling filter, and bioscrubber. In the present work, studies are being carried out on biofilter contaminated with TEA. The contaminated gas is passed through a packed bed where TEA compound is absorbed into the biofilm in which diffusion and aerobic biodegradation occur simultaneously in a complex set of physical, chemical and biological interactions. Therefore, selection of suitable microbial consortia and biofilter configuration is very important from commercial perspective.

Download or read book Indoor Air Pollution Control Using a Soil Biofilter written by Daisy Badilla and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2008 in the subject Physics - Biophysics, , language: English, abstract: Biofiltration may be used to control indoor air pollution. In biofiltration, contaminants in a gas stream are degraded by microorganisms and converted to carbon dioxide, water, and biomass. In this study, the CO2 production and the elimination capacity (EC) of toluene at inlet concentrations between 20 and 80 ppm were investigated using three biofilters operated separately with soil as bed material. Results showed soil, with its rich microflora taken to full advantage without inoculants and additional nutrients, biodegraded toluene at removal rates comparable to those in other studies at higher concentrations. The quantity of CO2 produced correlates with the quantity of toluene removed which implies effective biodegradation and suggests stable long-term operation at these low concentrations. Though the concentrations used in this study are not typical toluene indoor concentrations (ppb), results show biofiltration may be effective for indoor air pollution control with proper design considering biomass growth or biofilm structure, concentration, and gas flow rate.
