Abstract
AbstractThis paper documents an investigation on the effect of using silicone oil in the bed of a perlite biofilter for removal of a mixture of hydrophobic compounds. Two bench‐scale biofilters, one with silicone oil and the other without silicone oil as a control, were used for the investigations. Results showed, at low inlet concentrations, the difference in performance between the silicone oil‐treated biofilter and the control biofilter were insignificant, while at high concentrations, the biofilter with silicone oil performed slightly better. The maximum elimination capacities obtained in this research were 20.41 g/(m3bed.h) and 18.83 g/(m3bed.h) for the silicone oil‐added biofilter and the control biofilter, under the same conditions, respectively.
