Abstract
New bioreactors—biological plate tower, membrane bioreactor, sparged gas reactor, foamed emulsion biological reactor, suspended-growth reactor, monolith bioreactor, and two-phase partitioning bioreactor—developed for air pollution control are discussed in this chapter. The choice of the most suitable bioreactor depends on the characteristics and the composition of the waste gas and on the economical aspects as well.
