The effect of pressure on removal of carbon monoxide in biofilter
E-mail:
Solubility of carbon monoxide in water is very important for its biological oxidation or removal process of gaseous pollutants. Present research shows the effect of pressure on solubility of carbon monoxide in liquid phase and its removal process by a biofilter. The results are considered as laboratory research on carbon monoxide elimination. In this method a pressurized trickle-bed biofilter was used to increase pressure in the reactor. The biofilter was filled with Leca-stones and inoculated with microorganisms. When the system’s pressure is increased, the solubility of carbon monoxide will be increased, respectively, and it causes a better reaction of the microorganisms for removing of gaseous pollutants. The efficiency was improved significantly by increasing the pressure in the reactor.
