Biofiltration of a styrene/acetone vapor mixture in two reactor types under conditions of styrene overloading

Biofiltration of a styrene/acetone vapor mixture in two reactor types under conditions of styrene overloading

This aim of study was to compare the performance of a biofilter (BF) and trickle bed reactor (TBR) under increased styrene loading with a constant acetone load, 2 gc/m3/h. At styrene loading rates up to 30 gc/m3/h, the BF showed higher styrene removal than TBR. However, the BF efficiency started to...
