Aquatic Moss Mats Are Alternative Biofilter Media for Aquaculture and Aquaponic Effluents Treating [PDF]
PlantsInert media such as plastic, ceramic or zeolite are conventionally used for wastewater biofiltration. They all need microbial activation and are essentially chosen for their surface/mass ratio, since biofiltration is entirely performed within the surface

A lab-scale biofiltration system for mitigating diluted methane emissions [PDF]
HardwareXMethane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 27–30 times greater than CO2. Diffuse sources such as livestock facilities, landfills, and coal mines emit methane at low concentrations (
