Biofiltration is an attractive technique for elimination of VOCs and odorous compounds from low-concentration, high-volume waste gas streams because of its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The objective of this study was to estimate the removal characteristics of Odorous Compounds including $H_2$S, $NH_3$End BTEX in MSW landfill gases. This Study was conducted at Nanjido landfill site. A compost from the Nanjido composting facility was used as a filling material for biofiltration. Extracted landfill gases were injected into biofilter reactors after mixing with air. Experiments were performed in an incubator being set to $20^{\circ}C$ $H_2$S concentrations were monitored at the depths of 25, 50, 75 and 100cm from the bottom Of the biofilter reactors. 98% of $H_2$S was removed at the filling depth of only 25cm. NH$_3$removal rate was about 85%. Toluene removal rate was the highest among BTEX. Significant pH drop of a filling material was not observed during the biofilter operation of 1 month. Without mixing the landfill gas stream with all, the removal rate of $H_2$S decreased down to 30%.

To select a promising technologies for removal of odorous gases emitted from a wastewater pump station, four methods such as activated carbon (A/C) adsorption, chemical absorption (acid and alkali scrubber), and two biofilters (polyurethane (PU) and worm cast) were investigated. The average odor removal efficiencies in the PU biofilter and A/C column was over 98%, but in a worm cast biofilter and chemical absorption were below 60-80%. The removal efficiency of PU biofilter was very stable (about 98-99%) in the range of retention times of 4-36s, and a maximum elimination capacity was $1.6${\times}$10^{ 7}$ $OUm^{-3}$$h^{-1}$ Deodorization costs for an activated carbon adsorption and a biofiltration method were investigated. With increasing odor intensity, the operating cost of the A/C column increased linearly, but the operating cost of the biofilteration increased slightly. The capital cost in a biofilter is about two times higher than that in an A/C column, but the operating cost is very lower than that of in A/C column. In conclusion, the biofiltration was evaluated one of the most promising technologies to control odor in a wastewater pump station.

Real sized open type biofilter system was manufactured to control the odor generated from the agitated composting system which composted swine manure and sawdust mixtures. The aim of this research was to develop a biofilter system using matured compost and to evaluate the performance of the biofilter system. Average ammonia reduction rate through the biofilter was 84% during about two month period of composting. The maximum ammonia concentration after filtering was 45ppm lower than allowable value of 50ppm. It was concluded that compost can be used as a biofilter materials.

Supercritical carbon dioxide was used to remove coffee odors. The odor removal efficiency was tested with coffee drink prepared by the espresso extraction method. Five typical odors in coffee were analyzed with GC and these odors in deodorized coffee were compared to those in control. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction conditions were optimized as 350 bar and 70$^{\circ}C$ because the solvating power of supercritical fluid is depend on the density which is determined by temperature and pressure. A modified head space method was applied to collect coffee odors in coffee drink prepared by the espresso extraction method. Odors generated in coffee drink made with deodorized coffee powder were reduced by 73% in total mass of typical five coffee odors.

축산업의 규모가 커짐에 따라 가축분뇨의 발생이 집중화되고 있으며 이 축산폐기물은 올바르게 처리하지 않을 경우 대기 및 수질환경의 오염원이 될 수 있다. 축산농가에서는 분뇨처리의 문제가 가축사육의 중요한 부분으로 대두되고 있다. 가축분뇨를 퇴비화 처리하는 과정에서 발생하는 암모니아가스는 악취의 주요성분을 이루고 있을 뿐만 아니라 퇴비 내에 존재하는 질소성분을 밖으로 유출하는 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 퇴비화하는 과정에서 악취발생의 저감과 또한 발생된 악취의 탈취는 퇴비 내에 포함되어 있는 질소 비료성분의 유출을 방지하고 작업장의 불쾌감과 환경오염을 방지한다는 측면에서 매우 중요한 과제이다.
