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 (

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

Virus Removal from Real Wastewater as an Environmental Management Approach [PDF]
MoleculesThe increased presence of resistant microorganisms in water promotes the need for supplementary measures to mitigate the water source’s contamination. Traditional treatments are inefficient in wastewater management at removing some emerging contaminants.
