摘要
Bench scale experiments and a numerical model were used to test the effectiveness of biofiltration in treating air contaminated with ethanol vapors. Three packing materials, granular activated carbon, compost, and a mixture of compost and diatomaceous earth were tested. The GAC material supported the highest elimination rates, ranging from 53 to 219 grams/m3-hr for a range of loading rates. Partitioning coefficients for the contaminant on the biofilter packing material had a strong effect on the efficiency of the biofilters.
