SIMULTANEOUS DEGRADATION OF TOXIC AND VOLATILE SUBSTRATES BY TWO PHASE PARTITIONING BIOREACTOR SYSTEMS: PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION AND RATIONAL POLYMER SELECTION

The degradation of toxic and volatile contaminants in aqueous streams is considered a challenge using conventional bioremediation strategies. At moderate concentrations, toxic contaminants induce microbial inhibition, which results in an overall decrease of reaction rates. On the other hand, volatil...
