Investigations on the Removal of Hydrophobic Odorous Volatile Organic Compounds by Biotrickling Filtration Monitored With Electronic Nose

The presented paper presents the results of research on the removal of selected hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from their mixture with air by means of a trickled-bed biofiltration. The efficiency of the removal of toluene and a-pinene, as model VOCs, in a three-section biotrickling fi...
