Resumen de Biological waste gas purification of industrial methyl chloride emissions to protect the stratospheric ozone layer
The feasibility of treatment of industrial methylchloride waste gas emissions using biotechnology has been studied. Microbiological aspects have been evaluated in relation to the low concentrations required after treatment. Important physiological parameters like affinity and toxicity for methylchloride have been researched to obtain optimal process conditions. Microbial aspects, as well as operational costs, showed that the biological waste gas treatment of methylchloride should be feasible. In a pilot-scale bioreactor, treating industrial methylchloride containing waste gas and inoculated with a mixed consortium of methylchloride degrading microorganisms, the required outlet concentrations can be reached.
