Elimination of mass transfer and kinetic limited organic pollutants in biofilters: A review

Mass transfer and kinetic limitations are two obstacles to the removal of a pollutant from the gas phase in a biofilter (BF) or a biotrickling filter (BTF). The issue becomes more challenging when mass transfer and kinetic limitations are present especially for treatment of pollutants in mixtures. In the present study, the most common organic pollutants which may have mass transfer or kinetic limitations in BFs and BTFs are described....
