Investigation of Secondary Phases Including Ionic Liquids for Biphasic Bioreactors Treating Hydrophobic VOCs
… which are known to have adverse effects on climate change and health, and thus emissions of VOCs are regulated. One such control method is via biodegradation in a biofilter and other similar reactors. Many hydrophobic VOCs, however, are difficult to degrade in such devices. Biphasic …
