Abstract:
:The removal of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) still remains the main restriction in the biological treatment of odorous emissions due to mass transfer limitations. The addition of a non-aqueous phase to conventional biotrickling filters (BTF) may overcome this limitation by enhancing VOCs transport from the gas to the microorganisms. This study compared the long-term and transient performance of a one- (1P) and two-liquid phase (2P; with silicone oil as non-aqueous phase) BTFs for the removal of four VOCs (butanone, toluene, alpha-pinene, and hexane) at empty bed residence times (EBRT) ranging from 47 to 6 s. Removal efficiencies (RE) >96 % were obtained for butanone, toluene, and alpha-pinene in both bioreactors regardless of the EBRT, while higher hexane REs were recorded in the 2P-BTF (81-92 %) compared to the 1P-BTF (60-97 %). The two-phase system always showed a more consistent performance, being able to better withstand step VOC concentration increases and starvation periods, although it was more affected by liquid recycling shutdowns due to a reduced VOC mass transfer. The analysis of the microbial communities showed a high biodiversity and richness despite the low C source spectrum and high community evenness and richness. In this context, the presence of silicone oil mediated the development of a highly different phylogenetic composition of the communities.
