The main findings in this research can be concluded as follows:
(1) The compost biofilter inoculated with P. chrysosporium
could effectively remove toluene vapor (between 50% and
92%) under intermittent loading.
(2) The effect of residence time was more significant than
changing the inlet concentration on the biofiltration of
toluene due to low load of pollutant in this research.
(3) Under the experimental condition, the Monod type equation
could properly fit the data and express the kinetic of
toluene biofiltration.
