Operation of biofilters with different packing material

담체 변화에 따른 Labscale 바이오 필터의 성능 실험

The low-pH biofiltration system in laboratory experiments demonstrate defective performance for treating H2S. When leachate pH was in the range of 1.5 to 4, the biofilters in three different media removed H2S wi th efficiencies greater than 99％ while it was treated as a single contaminant. The posibility of using a single-stage low pH biofilter depends on its performance in treating VOCs. During Phase 2, a single-stage biofilter was effective for treating mixtures of H2S and toluene with toluene concentrations below 20ppm and leachate pH between 2 and 3.5. Biofiltration of xylene was ineffective when pH was lower than 1.5. The treatment system acclimated most slowly to benzene, and treatment of benzene was apparently subject to some competive inhibition from xylene and toluene. However. co-treatment was possible after some acclimation time. Xylene was not easily treated, with higher elimination capacities and no sign of competitive inhibition.
