ABSTRACT

Two-phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) are considered as a new technology for xenobiotic degradation in gaseous effluents. However, there is still a need for more knowledge on how to design and scale up TPPBs. The partitioning of the two phases remains a misunderstood way of research. In particular, the impact of pollutant (IPB), biomass and surfactant extract needs to be better evaluated.
