A development, construction, set-up, put in an operation, and performance of a biotrickling filter. Choice and development of the biocatalyst and cell immobilization on the packing material. A study of the culture enrichment and culture characteristics in the reactor. Start-up procedures. Steady-state performance and dynamic behaviour of the reactor. Biodegradation of acetone, toluene and other volatile pollutants. Microbial analyses of immobilized cell population and released cells in a suspension during biodegradation processes. Characterization of gram positive and gram negative bacteria isolated from various types of bioreactors using biotyping and ribotyping.
