Odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are typical products of
industrial processes. VOCs may be originated from chemical
mechanisms, solvent use, petroleum processing and several other
sources, while odors are emitted mainly from livestocks, food
processing industries, landfills, and waste water treatment plants.
They are not known to cause serious diseases, however their
persistence provokes nuisances to sensitive people in the case of
odors whereas VOCs are precursors of pollutants that degrade the
ozone layer. Therefore, the need of waste gas treatment
technologies has increased tremendously. Biofiltration is a
technique that employs a biofilm, containing a consortium of
microorganisms in contact with water and waste gases, which by
consuming the organic compounds present in the exhaust gases
sustain their growth and simultaneously eliminate the content of
several pollutants. It has been proven as a very efficient
technique for the treatment of VOCs and odor emissions. In this
book you will find an assessment of the potential of biofiltration
to be established in Africa and the Caribbean (AF&CA). It is
focused for engineers and technicians that provide services in air
quality management and want to venture in these regions.
