Removal of Odours

Bajpai, Pratima

Pages: 53 –65

[Odour treatment is a significant portion of the marketplace. Biofiltration is capable of biodegrading a wide variety of air contaminants. Current research and application of biofiltration has been focused on the removal of volatile organic compounds and air toxics from the industrial exhausts of...
