Biofiltration of polluted gas streams contained $H_2S$ was studied. The experiments were performed in a laboratory-scale reactor with a porous ceramic media inoculated with sulfur oxidizing bacterium, TAS which was isolated from activiated sludge. The concentration of $H_2S$ in the inlet gas varied from 109 to 3,841 ppm, at the various space velocities(SV) of 50 $h^{-1}$ to 250 $h^{-1}$. Various tests have been conducted to evaluate the effects of such parameters as pH, concentration of sulfate ion and retention time on the pressure drop and maximum elimination capacity. The removal efficiency of $H_2S$ decreased as the $H_2S$ concentration or gas velocity increased in the inlet gas. Pressure drop was insignificant in this system. The maximum elimination capacity could reach up to 16.35g-S/kg-dry packing material/day.

In a search for bacteria capable of degrading styrene better than previously isolated strains, bacterium IS-3 was isolated from activated sludge and found to be most closely related to Pseudomonas sp. Styrene degradation by this strain was tested in liquid cultures and polyurethane-packed biofilters. In liquid cultures, the rate of styrene degradation by this bacterium increased from 24.93 to $76.53\;{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}\;DCW\;H^{-1}$ for an initial mass range from 8.7 to $34.8{\mu}mol$. The maximum styrene elimination capacity was 580-635 $g/m^{3}\cdot$h at a space velocity (SV) of 50-200/h. The critical elimination capacities guaranteeing $95\%$ removal of the input styrene were determined to be 635, 170, and 38 $g/m^{3}\cdot$h, respectively, at SVs of 50, 100, and 200/h. Kinetic analysis revealed that the maximum styrene elimination velocity ($V_{m}$) for this biofilter was 1,000 g/m$\cdot$h, and the saturation constant ($K_{m}$) was 454 ppmv. Together, these results suggest that a polyurethane biofilter containing Pseudomonas sp. IS-3 could have potential practical applications for the effective removal of styrene gas.

A laboratory-scale dual-column biofilter system was used to study the biofiltration of dimethyl disulfide(DMDS). The biofiltration of DMDS was found to depend on the pollutant loadings rather than the inlet concentrations. It was estimated that the pollutant was only inhibitory to the operation of the biofilters at DMDS concentrations greater than 5500 ppmv A residence time of 30 seconds(120 m$^3$/m$^2$/h volumetric loading) was determined as appropriate for efficient operation(>90%). The maximum elimination capacity for both compost mixtures under the current experimental conditions was found to range from 7.5 to 10 g-DMDS/m$^3$/h. A lower DMDS maximum elimination capacity was exhibited under acidified conditions.

Styrene을 제거하기 위한 biofilter가 연구되었다. 운전 초기에 활성슬러지를 접종함으로써 start-up 기간을 24시간으로 줄일 수 있었다. 운전중 질소원 고갈 현상이 발생하였고 첨가된 ammonium sulfate양에 따라 제거된 styrene의 양을 정량적으로 구하여 이것을 biofilter의 장기운전에 이용할 수 있었다. Styrene의 maximum elimination $capacity(EC_{max})$와 critical elimination $capacity(EC_{cr})$는 각각 4.8kg $C\;/m^3{cdot}day$, 1.248kg $C\;/m^3{cdot}day$이었으며 styrene 농도 400ppmv까지를 분해하는데 EBRT 1min으로 제거율 95% 이상을 달성할 수 있었다.

생물살수여과법을 이용하여 대표적인 휘발성 유기물질인 toluene, styrene과 악취물질인 $H_2S$를 운전조건에 따른 제거 특성에 대해 실험적 고찰을 중심으로 진행하였다. $H_2S$ 제거 특성 고찰을 위한 autotroph과 mixotroph 조건하에서는 $H_2S$ 부하율이 낮은 조건($10g/m^3{\cdot}hr$)에서는 두 조건에서 모두 제거율이 99% 이상을 나타냈다. 부하율이 증가하면서 제거율이 감소하였으며, mixotroph 조건하에서 제거율이 다소 높았다. 방향족 휘발성 유기화합물질인 toluene과 styrene 농도변화에 따른 부하율과 제거용량 관계에서 toluene 부하율이 $40g/m^3{\cdot}hr$ 이하에서는 농도에 관계없이 제거율이 거의 99%를 나타내나 부하율이 증가함에 따라서 제거율은 감소하며 부하율이 증가해도 제거용량이 더 이상 증가하지 않는 최고제거용량을 나타내고 있으며 toluene 농도가 0.2, 0.5과 $1.0g/m^3$일 때 최고제거용량은 각각 40, 45, $60g/m^3{\cdot}hr$으로 나타내고 있다. toluene으로 순응된 살수여과탑에 styrene을 주입하여 순응시킨 후 styrene 제거 실험결과는 toluene 실험결과와 유사한 경향을 나타내었으나 전체적으로 제거효율이 낮게 나타났다. 순환살수액 유량 등의 적정 운전조건은 탑내 미생물의 활성도, 반응기 물리/화학적 특성에 따라 물질전달, 탑내 주입된 공기의 분배, 살수액 통과 경로, 미생물 분포도, 공극율 등에 따라 제거효율이 달라지므로 이를 고려한 적정 운전조건이 결정되어야 한다.

Biofiltration is a bioprocess treating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in order to convert the VOCs to harmless products. This review on biofiltration is intended to provide an engineering concept such as removal efficiency, maximum load, elimination capacity and so on. Besides, modeling concept of biofilter is also supplied for designing biofilter system. Quantitative data generated in our research group is shown to explain the engineering concept as well as the modeling idea.

황화수소와 암모니아를 포함한 악취폐가스를 처리하기 위하여 여러 semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전 조건 하에서 Bacillus cereus DAH-1056과 Arthrobacter sp. KDE-0311를 고정한 semi-pilot 바이오필터 시스템을 운전하였다. Semi-pilot 바이오필터 운전조건에서 Thiobacillus sp. IW와 반송슬러지를 고정한 바이오필터의 황화수소 removal efficiency는 약 80%이었고 암모니아의 removal efficiency는 약 50% 정도이었던 반면에 Bacillus cereus DAH-1056과 Arthrobacter sp. KDE-0311를 고정한 본 연구에서 황화수소의 removal efficiency는 약 90%이었고 암모니아의 removal efficiency는 약 60% 정도이었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 Thiobacillus sp. IW와 반송슬러지를 고정한 semi-pilot 바이오필터의 경우를 기준으로 황화수소 및 암모니아의 removal efficiency가 각각 약 13% 및 20% 정도 제고되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 암모니아의 최대 elimination capacity가 약 $35g/m^3/h$로서 Thiobacillus sp. IW와 반송슬러지를 고정한 semi-pilot 바이오필터의 경우보다 $3{\sim}5g/m^3/h$ 정도 제고되어 10~17% 더욱 높았다. 한편 본 연구의 황화수소의 최대 elimination capacity는 약 $63g/m^3/h$ 정도로 약 15% 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 같은 inlet load의 황화수소라 할지라도 높은 농도의 황화수소가 낮은 농도의 황화수소보다 바이오필터의 암모니아 처리를 더 어렵게 하거나, 같은 inlet load의 암모니아라 할지라도 낮은 농도의 암모니아의 경우가 높은 농도의 암모니아보다 더 큰 removal efficiency와 elimination capacity를 갖는 것이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서의 황화수소 최대처리용량은 황화수소와 암모니아를 동시처리 하였음에도 불구하고 황화수소만을 바이오필터로 처리한 선행연구에서의 황화수소 최대처리용량을 초과하거나 비슷하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 바이오필터로 황화수소와 암모니아를 동시처리한 선행연구보다 더 높은 암모니아 제거용량을 보였다.

Removal of toluene vapor from airstreams was studied in a biological reactor known as a biofilter. The biofilter was packed porous ceramic inoculated with thickened activated sludge (MLVSS 17,683 mg/L). The lab-scale biofilter was operated for 42 days under various experimental conditions including inlet toluene concentrations and flow rates of the contaminated air streams. Removal efficiency reached up 96.6% after 4 days from start up. Nutrient limitation was proposed as a reason for the decrease in biofilter performence. Biofilter performance decreased substantially, coincident with the buildup of back pressure due to accumulation of excess VSS within the medium bed. Practically, the bed needs to be backwashed when the overall pressure drop is greater than 460.6 Pa at SV (Space Velocity) 100 h-1. Periodic backwashing of the biofilter was necessary for removing excess biomass and attaining stable long -term high removal efficiency The removal efficiency of toluene in the biofilter decreased as the gas velocity and toluene concentration in the inlet gas increased. The maximum elimination capacity of ceramic biofilter could reach up to 444.85 g/m3. hr. When the loading of toluene exceed this critical value, substrate inhibition occurred.

This study compared the performance of a bioscrubber, a biofilter, and a combined system of bioscrubber and biofilter employed being operated at the laboratory-scale. for the removal of hydrogen sulfide. The bioscrubber maintained 100% removal of hydrogen sulfide up to inlet load of $56\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}hr$, while the removal efficiency was decreased with the increase of inlet load. The biofilter showed 100% removal efficiency up to inlet load of $126\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}h$ and the maximum elimination capacity of $126\;g\;S/m^3{\cdot}h$ for the inlet load of $224\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}h$. On the other hand, the combined system of bioscrubber and biofilter showed 100% removal for an inlet hydrogen sulfide load of up to $85\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}h$ and the maximum elimination capacity of $153\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}h$ for inlet loads of $224\;g-S/m^3{\cdot}h$.

The single resonant inverter is widely employed in typical inductive power transfer (IPT) systems to generate a high-frequency current in the primary side. However, the power capacity of a single resonant inverter is limited by the constraints of power electronic devices and the relevant cost. Consequently, IPT systems fail to meet high-power application requirements, such as those in rail applications. Total harmonic distortion (THD) may also violate the standard electromagnetic interference requirements with phase shift control under light load conditions. A power regulation approach with selective harmonic elimination is proposed on the basis of a parallel multi-inverter to upgrade the power levels of IPT systems and suppress THD under light load conditions by changing the output voltage pulse width and phase shift angle among parallel multi-inverters. The validity of the proposed control approach is verified by using a 1,412.3 W prototype system, which achieves a maximum transfer efficiency of 90.602%. Output power levels can be dramatically improved with the same semiconductor capacity, and distortion can be effectively suppressed under various load conditions.
