Abstract

Abstract : This paper gives an overview of the most important bioreactor configurations used in waste gas treatment, i.e., conventional and trickling biofilters, the bioscrubber, suspended-growth bioreactors, as well as two-liquid phase systems (stirred tank bioreactor and biotrickling filter). The historical evolution, main characteristics, and recent developments are described in each case.
