Abstract
Experimental evaluation of a diffusion reaction model (part 1) for the determination of both steady- and transient-state behavior of biofilt ers for waste air biotreatment is presented. The model, applied to the aerobic biodegradation of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and methyl isobut yl ketone (MIBK) vapors from air as single and as mixed pollutants, pr oved appropriate for describing most of the experiments undertaken and served as a basis for comprehensive understanding of biofilter operat ion.
