Abatement of Synthetic Landfill Gas including Limonene by Biotrickling Filter and Membrane Biofiltration
Abstract
In this study, a single silicone rubber membrane biofilter was compared to a lava rock biotrickling filter to examine the aerobic biofiltration of synthetic landfill gas including odorous limonene. The membrane bioreactor and biotrickling filter showed, respectively, maximum elimination capacities of 17 g m -3 h -1 and 31.3 g m -3 h -1 for limonene and removal efficiencies of 11 % and 18 % for methane. The membrane bioreactor was apparently mass transfer-limited and the biotrickling filter was reaction-limited.
