Biodegradation of Benzene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene Mixture in a Date Palm Tree Bark-based Upflow Biofilter

The performance of a date palm tree bark-based biofilter inoculated with mixed microbial consortia was investigated for the removal of a benzene- ethylbenzene-xylene mixture at a total inlet loading rate range of 38.0 to 612.0 g/m3·h. The influences of the inlet pollutant concentration and air flow...
