Several biofilters and biotrickling filters were used for the treatment of a mixture of formaldehyde and methanol; and their efficiencies were compared. Results obtained with three different inert filter bed materials (lava rock, perlite, activated carbon) suggested that the packing material had only little influence on the performance. The best results were obtained in a biotrickling filter packed with lava rock and fed a nutrient solution that was renewed weekly. A maximum formaldehyde elimination capacity of 180 g m–3 h–1 was reached, while the methanol elimination capacity rose occasionally to more than 600 g m–3 h–1. Formaldehyde degradation was affected by the inlet methanol concentration. Several combinations of load vs empty bed residence time (EBRTs of 71.9, 46.5, 30.0, 20.7 s) were studied, reaching a formaldehyde elimination capacity of 112 g m–3 h–1 with about 80% removal efficiency at the lowest EBRT (20.7 s).  相似文献

A biotrickling filter packed with ceramic particles and seeded with B350 microorganisms was applied to remove trimethylamine (TMA) from gaseous waste. A 100% removal efficiency (RE) was obtained when the empty bed residence time (EBRT) was larger than 110 s at an inlet concentration of 0.30 mg/L. Maximum elimination capacity (EC) was 13.13 g m−3 h−1 (RE = 64.7%) at 55 s of EBRT. TMA concentrations <0.20 mg/L at 83 s of EBRT did not affect the REs (100%). Maximum EC was 13.95 g m−3 h−1 (RE = 78.1%) at a TMA concentration of 0.42 mg/L. Approximately 53.1% of the carbon in TMA was completely mineralized. Bacterial community analysis in the bioreactor revealed more than 21 species in a stable state. Based on all these results, biotrickling filter inoculated with B350 microorganisms is deemed highly capable of ridding waste gas of TMA.  相似文献

Removal of gaseous chlorobenzene (CB) by a biotrickling filter (BTF) filled with modified ceramics and multi-surface hollow balls during gas–liquid mass transfer at the steady state was by microbial degradation rather than dissolution in the spray liquid or emission into the atmosphere. The BTF was flexible and resistant to the acid environment of the spray liquid, with the caveat that the spray liquid should be replaced once every 6–7 days. The BTF, loaded with Lysinibacillus fusiformis, performed well for purification of high-loading CB gas. The maximum CB gas inlet loading rate, 103 g m?3 h?1, CB elimination capacity, 97 g m?3 h?1, and CB removal efficiency, 97.7 %, were reached at a spray liquid flow rate of 27.6 ml min?1, an initial CB concentration of up to 1,300 mg m?3, and an empty bed retention time of more than 45 s.  相似文献

A biotrickling filter (BTF) packed with porous polyurethane (PU) foam sheets was developed and operated for removal of gas-phase styrene. The specific surface area and void fraction of the PU foam sheet were determined to be 497 m2/m3 and 0.92, respectively, by using mathematical modeling and experimental measurement. The effects of gas flow direction (co-current and counter-current), styrene loading rate and empty bed residence time on the efficiency of the BTF were analyzed. The BTF achieved a high elimination capacity of 4.0 ∼ 5.0 kg styrene/m3 day due to the high specific surface area of the PU foam. The BTF could be operated repeatedly when excessively-grown biomass was periodically removed, using circulating NaOH solution for 2 h every four days.  相似文献

A Sporothrix variecibatus-inoculated biotrickling filter (BTF) was examined for styrene removal, without and with the addition of silicone oil, at different empty bed residence times. The highest elimination capacities (ECs) were 172.8 (without silicone oil) and 670 g m−3 h−1 (with silicone oil), respectively, corresponding to a 4-fold improvement in presence of oil. The addition of silicone oil formed a well-coalesced emulsion of fungi and silicone oil, resulting in filter-bed clogging. Clogging prevention strategies adopted were; (i) lowering the volume ratio of silicone oil from 10% to 2% (v/v), and (ii) periodic increase in trickling rate of the medium from 50 to 190 mL min−1. During shock-load experiments, the BTF with silicone oil (2% v/v) could withstand high styrene loads, of up to 1900 g m−3 h−1, when compared to the BTF without silicone oil (400 g m−3 h−1).  相似文献

This paper investigates the removal of isopropanol by gas-phase biotrickling filtration. Two plastic packing materials, one structured and one random, have been evaluated in terms of oxygen mass transfer and isopropanol removal efficiency. Oxygen mass transfer experiments were performed at gas velocities of 104 and 312 m h?1 and liquid velocities between 3 and 33 m h?1. Both materials showed similar mass transfer coefficients up to liquid velocities of 15 m h?1. At greater liquid velocities, the structured packing exhibited greater oxygen mass transfer coefficients. Biotrickling filtration experiments were carried out at inlet loads (IL) from 20 to 65 g C m?3 h?1 and empty bed residence times (EBRT) from 14 to 160 s. To simulate typical industrial emissions, intermittent isopropanol loading (16 h/day, 5 day/week) and intermittent spraying frequency (15 min/1.5 h) were applied. Maximum elimination capacity of 51 g C m?3 h?1 has been obtained for the random packing (IL of 65 g C m?3 h?1, EBRT of 50 s). The decrease in irrigation frequency to 15 min every 3 h caused a decrease in the outlet emissions from 86 to 59 mg C Nm?3 (inlet of 500 mg C Nm?3). The expansion of spraying to night and weekend periods promoted the degradation of the isopropanol accumulated in the water tank during the day, reaching effluent concentrations as low as 44 mg C Nm?3. After a 7-week starvation period, the performance was recovered in less than 10 days, proving the robustness of the process.  相似文献

Biological treatment is an emerging and prevalent technology for treating off-gases from wastewater treatment plants. The most commonly reported odorous compound in off-gases is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which has a very low odor threshold. A self-designed, bench-scale, cross-flow horizontal biotrickling filter (HBF) operated with bacteria immobilized activated carbon (termed biological activated carbon—BAC), was applied for the treatment of H2S. A mixed culture of sulfide-oxidizing bacteria dominated by Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans acclimated from activated sludge was used as bacterial seed and the biofilm was developed by culturing the bacteria in the presence of carbon pellets in mineral medium. HBF performance was evaluated systematically over 120 days, depending on a series of changing factors including inlet H2S concentration, gas retention time (GRT), pH of recirculation solution, upset and recovery, sulfate accumulation, pressure drop, gas-liquid ratio, and shock loading. The biotrickling filter system can operate at high efficiency from the first day of operation. At a volumetric loading of 900 m3 m–3 h–1 (at 92 ppmv H2S inlet concentration), the BAC exhibited maximum elimination capacity (113 g H2S/m–3 h–1) and a removal efficiency of 96% was observed. If the inlet concentration was kept at around 20 ppmv, high H2S removal (over 98%) was achieved at a GRT of 4 s, a value comparable with those currently reported for biotrickling filters. The bacterial population in the acidic biofilter demonstrated capacity for removal of H2S over a broad pH range (pH 1–7). A preliminary investigation into the different effects of bacterial biodegradation and carbon adsorption on system performance was also conducted. This study shows the HBF to be a feasible and economic alternative to physical and chemical treatments for the removal of H2S.  相似文献

Ethyl acetate removal from an air stream was carried out by using a flat composite membrane bioreactor. The composite membrane consisted of a dense polydimethylsiloxane top layer with an average thickness of 0.3 μm supported in a porous polyacrylonitrile layer (50 μm). The membrane bioreactor (MBR) was operated during 3 months, and a maximum elimination capacity of 225 g m−3 h−1 at an empty bed residence time of 60 s was observed. Removal efficiencies higher than 95% were obtained for inlet loads lower than 200 g m−3 h−1 and empty bed residence times as short as 15 s. The estimated yield coefficient, determined from the carbon dioxide production, resulted in 0.82 g dry biomass synthesized per gram of ethyl acetate degraded. No data of ethyl acetate treatment in MBR have been found in the literature, but the results illustrate that membrane bioreactors can potentially be a good option for its treatment.  相似文献

The removal of styrene-polluted air emissions by biotrickling filtration was performed to evaluate the influence of using nitrate and urea as a nitrogen source in the nutrient solution supplied to two bioreactors run in parallel under the same operational conditions for 3 months. The use of urea resulted in less biomass content along the packed bed and better performance of the process, with a maximum elimination capacity (EC) of 57.6 g C m−3 h−1 (removal efficiency (RE) of 88.3% and empty bed residence time (EBRT) of 60 s), which was around 54% higher than when using nitrate. EBRTs of 60, 30 and 15 s were evaluated with a urea-based nutrient supply. By decreasing the EBRT from 60 to 30 s the styrene concentration that could be treated with REs above 80% was almost the half, from 1,100 to 600 mg C m−3, resulting in ECs of 52.8 g C m−3 h−1. Working at 15 s was not possible to obtain REs higher than 40% with a maximum EC of 28.5 g C m−3 h−1.  相似文献

In the work described here, a biotrickling filter with Thiobacillus thioparus (ATCC 23645) immobilized on polyurethane foam is proposed for the removal of hydrogen sulfide contained in air. The effect of surface velocity of the recirculation medium (5.9–1.2 m/h), sulfate concentration inhibition (3.0–10.7 g/L), pH (6.0–8.2), empty bed residence time (EBRT) (150–11 s) for constant loads of 11.5 and 2.9 g S/m3/h, and pressure drop of the system were investigated.  相似文献

As a microbial-environmental-control-type deodorizing system, we have developed a compact biotrickling filter system for small-scale livestock farms. The performance of the compact co-current biotrickling filter operated at high recycle liquid flow rates was systematically examined. In particular, we studied improvements in the nitrification ability of the system due to the resultant enhancement of absorption and dissolution of NH3 and absorption of O2 with the high flow rates of recycle liquid flowing downward co-currently with gas flow. At the empty bed residence time of 50 s, almost complete removal of NH3 was obtained with recycle liquid flow rates of 103 and 205 L m−3 day−1 for 20 days while the inlet NH3 concentration was increased from 200 to 500 ppm. With a recycle liquid flow rate of 411 L m−3 day−1 the removal efficiency remained above 95% for 57 days while the inlet NH3 concentration was increased from 200 to 700 ppm. The biodegradation kinetics for NH3 removal was successfully analyzed using the Haldane substrate inhibition kinetics. The present data and kinetic analyses showed that the substrate inhibition was suppressed and the biodegradation of ammonia in the compact biotrickling filter could be improved by the high recycle liquid flow rate.  相似文献

In this work, ceramic pellets were used as packing material to establish a biotrickling filter (BTF) with acclimated sludge being inoculated on the surface of the packing to purify waste gas containing styrene. A method of toluene-styrene secondary acclimation was applied to achieve rapid formation of biological films. Results showed that the total time of start-up was 48 days and the removal efficiency (RE) of styrene reached up to 95%. The suitable empty bed residence time (EBRT) was obtained that is 57 s for higher RE of styrene with the inlet loading rates of 6.7–271.6 g/m3/h. The pH and moisture content showed small effect on styrene removal indicating that the operation of BTF was stable. Biomass accumulation was normal and its rising velocity under the condition of short EBRT was faster than that of long EBRT.  相似文献

The applicability of Bordetella sp. Sulf-8 to degrade Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas in a biotrickling system was investigated. The isolate is a heterotrophic gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped bacterium which can metabolize thiosulfate or sulfide into sulfate. The mesophilic Bordetella sp. Sulf-8 can grow within a wide pH range using yeast as carbon source, with or without the presence of sulfur. In batch experiments, kinetic constants such as maximum specific growth rate (μ max = 0.12 1/h), saturation constant (K S = 0.017 g/L), and specific sulfur removal rate (88 mg S/g cells h) were obtained. In biotrickling experiments removal efficiencies were satisfactory, but the system performance was observed to be more influenced by empty bed residence time than by H2S feed gas concentration. Critical and maximum elimination capacities were 78.0 and 94.5 g H2S/m3 day, respectively. Macrokinetic analysis of the biotrickling system revealed maximum H2S removal rate V max = 15.97 g S/kg media-day and half saturation constant K S′ = 12.45 ppmv.  相似文献

A study was conducted on H2S removal in a biotrickling filter packed with open-pore polyurethane foam. Thiobacillus denitrificans was used as inoculum and a mixed culture population was developed during the process. The inhibitory effect of sulphate concentration (1.8–16.8 g L−1), pH (6.9–8.6), trickling liquid velocity (TLV, 9.1–22.8 m h−1), H2S inlet concentration (20–157 ppmv) and the empty bed residence time (EBRT, 9–57 s) on the H2S removal efficiency (RE) were thoroughly investigated. An increase in pH from 6.9 to 8.5 led to a corresponding increase in H2S removal. In addition, an inhibitory effect of sulphate concentration was observed from 16.8 g L−1 and the maximum elimination capacity was found to be 22 gS m−3 h−1 (RE 98%). The RE was constant (98.8 ± 0.30%) for EBRT  16 s, but a decrease in the EBRT from 16 to 9 s led to a corresponding decrease in RE from 98.2 to 89.6% for a TLV of 9.1 m h−1 and from 97.9 to 94.9% for a TLV of 22.8 m h−1 (inlet load of 11.0 ± 0.2 gS m−3 h−1). The sulphur oxidation capacity in the biotrickling filter was not diminished by the presence of other bacteria.  相似文献

The removal of toluene from an experimental gas-stream was studied in an industrial biofilter filled with poplar wood bark. Toluene degradation, approximately 85% through the operating period, resulted in low levels of toluene in the off-gas effluent. For a toluene load of 6.7 g m-3 h-1 the elimination capacity of the biofilter was found to be 6.0 g m-3 h-1. Toluene removal was due to biodegradative activity of microorganisms in the filter bed; the most probable number counts of toluene degraders increased from 2.4×102 to 6.4×107 MPN/g dry packing material in about seven months of air-toluene supply. The degradative capacity of a Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia strain, isolated from the biofilter material, as an example of the effectiveness of microbial toluence removal was tested in batch culture. The microorganism degraded completely 250 ppm of toluence supplied as sole carbon source in 24 hours. The high performance demonstrated for a long period and the mechanical and physico-chemical stability of the biofilter favour its use in industrial full-scale off-gas control.  相似文献

A dual-tube dense-phase silicone rubber membrane bioreactor was investigated for control of cyclohexane-contaminated air as part of a jet propulsion (JP-8) fuel remediation investigation strategy. The reactor was seeded with a mixed bacterial consortium isolated from the water/fuel interface of a JP-8 jet fuel sample and activated sludge, capable of aromatic and cyclic compound biodegradation. Cyclohexane removal ranged from 1.1 to 28.6 mg L?1, with removal percentages ranging from 4.6% to 37.6%. Removal in the bioreactor ranged from 29.4 to 596.6 mg min?1 m?2 and measured elimination capacities ranged from 46.7 to 947.9 g m?3 h?1. Removal rates and elimination capacity increased with increasing biofilm growth and with increasing loading rates of cyclohexane. Loading rates ranged from 395.9 to 2189.5 mg min?1 m?2. Results of this study showed effective removal of cyclohexane using the membrane bioreactor, suggesting that this technology may have applicability for treating vapors contaminated with cyclic hydrocarbons.  相似文献

An adapted bioactive foamed emulsion bioreactor for the treatment of benzene vapor has been developed. In this reactor, bed clogging was resolved by bioactive foam as a substitute of packing bed for interfacial contact of liquid to gaseous phase. The pollutant solubility has been increased using biocompatible organic phase in liquid phase and this reactor can be applied for higher inlet benzene concentration. Experimental results showed a benzene elimination capacity (EC) of 220 g m−3 h−1 with removal efficiency (RE) of 85% for benzene inlet concentration of 1–1.2 g m−3 at 15 s gas residence time in bioreactor. Assessment of benzene concentration in liquid phase showed that a significant amount of transferred benzene mass has been biodegraded. By optimizing the operational parameters of bioreactor, continuous operation of bioreactor with high EC and RE was demonstrated. With respect to the results, this reactor has the potential to be applied instead of biofilter and biotrickling filters.  相似文献

A two-stage biotrickling filter was developed for removing dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The first biotrickling filter (ABF) was inoculated with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and operated without pH control, while the second biotrickling filter (HBF) was inoculated with Hyphomicrobium VS and operated at neutral pH. High DMS elimination capacities were observed in the HBF (8.2 g DMS m(-3) h(-1) at 90% removal efficiency) after 2 days. Maximal observed elimination capacities were 83 g H2S m(-3) h(-1) (100% removal efficiency) and 58 g DMS m(-3) h(-1) (88% removal efficiency) for the ABF and the HBF, respectively. The influence of a decreasing empty bed residence time (120 down to 30 sec) and the robustness of the HBF towards changing operational parameters (low pH, starvation, and DMS and H2S peak loadings) were investigated. Suboptimal operational conditions rapidly resulted in lower DMS removal efficiencies, but recovery of the HBF was mostly obtained within a few days. The H2S removal efficiency in the ABF, however, was not influenced by varying operational conditions. In both reactors, microbial community dynamics of the biofilm and the suspended bacteria were investigated, using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). After a period of gradual change, a stable microbial community was observed in the HBF after 60 days, although Hyphomicrobium VS was not the dominant microorganism. In contrast, the ABF biofilm community was stable from the first day and only a limited bacterial diversity was observed. The planktonic microbial community in the HBF was very different from that in the biofilm.  相似文献

Pollutant degradation in biotrickling filters for waste air treatment is generally thought to occur only in the biofilm. In two experiments with toluene degrading biotrickling filters, we show that suspended microorganisms in the recycle liquid may substantially contribute to the overall pollutant removal. Two days after reactor start up, the overall toluene elimination capacity reached a maximum of 125 g m−3 h−1, which was twice that found during prolonged operation. High biodegradation activity in the recycle liquid fully accounted for this short-term peak of pollutant elimination. During steady-state operation, the toluene degradation in the recycle liquid was 21% of the overall elimination capacity, although the amount of suspended biomass was only 1% of the amount of immobilized biomass. The results suggest that biotrickling filter performance may be improved by selecting operating conditions allowing for the development of an actively growing suspended culture.

Leachate from a municipal waste landfill site was treated using an activated sludge bioreactor, a fluidized bed biofilm reactor and a packed-bed column reactor (trickling filter). The leachate contained high organic matter (2.0–2.6 g/l of COD), high ammonium (300–700 mg/l) and sulphide (200–800 mg/l) concentrations, as well as low metal concentrations. The continuously operating reactors were employed to study the effects of TOC loading on the removal of TOC as well as on the nitrification and denitrification processes. Among the three biological treatment technologies investigated, the fluidized bed biofilm reactor was best with respect to removing ammonia and TOC. More than 90% of TOC and 99% of ammonia were removed when TOC loading was less than 0.5 kg/m3 × d. At a TOC loading of 4 kg/m3 × d, the removal of TOC and ammonia was 80% and 99%, respectively. In contrast, the treatment of leachate with the packed-bed reactor was successful in TOC removing only at TOC loading less than 0.3 kg/m3 × d (TOC elimination decreased from 86% at 0.06 kg/m3 × d to 60% at 0.3 kg/m3 × d). However, the reactor was active in nitrification even at a higher TOC loading (more than a 98% ammonia elimination at a TOC loading of 0.5 kg/m3 × d). Leachate was processed in the activated sludge reactor when TOC loading was less than 0.5 kg/m3 × d (with a removal of TOC and ammonia up to 83% and 99%, respectively). The activated sludge reactor was also effective in TOC removal at a higher TOC loading (e.g. a 74% TOC removal at a TOC loading of 1 kg/m3 × d), but for ammonia elimination, the activity continuously decreased (less than 60% ammonia removal at a TOC loading of 1 kg/m3 × d). Overloading in the activated sludge system was indicated by a high concentration of ammonia and nitrite in the effluent. In the packed bed reactor, overloading was characterized by a progressively incomplete TOC removal. No significant overloading was found in the fluidized bed reactor up to a TOC loading of 4 kg/m3 × d.  相似文献
