Effect of photocatalytic pretreatment on the biodegradation of n-hexane vapours in a biofilter

Hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as n-hexane are not completely biodegradable by a single biofilter. So, in the present study, a photoreactor system packed with scoria granules coated with TiO2, as a pretreatment unit, was used for increasing the removal efficiency of n-hexane by a...
