Abstract
The purpose of the research was to examine the efficiency of filter ceramics, sponges, and straws in a laboratory-scale bioreactor in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. Research and development of conventional technologies are increasingly studying alternative biological treatments for polluted gas streams, transforming today into a promising technology to prevent air pollution. Biological gas systems are being developed for the elimination of odors produced in composting plants and for the treatment of wastewater. However, in recent decades the use of biological techniques for the removal of polluting gases is growing thanks to its diversity and effectiveness in managing various pollutants.
An initial and final analysis of the fermented broth was carried out taking into account the physicochemical parameters (pH, OD, Turbidity, BOD, STS) and the microbiological parameters (Numbering of viable aerobic microorganisms, Salmonella investigation, Numbering of total coliforms, Numbering of coliforms thermo tolerant, Numbering of Staphylococcus aureus, investigation of Vibrio cholerae, Numbering of molds and yeasts). The efficiency of the biological system was 100% to purify a gas stream and an efficiency of 91% to purify a gas stream from the fermented broth.
