Impact of Different Metabolic Uncouplers on the Specific Degradation Rate of Toluene in a Differential Biofiltration Reactor

In this work, a differential biofiltration reactor was used to explore the potential of metabolic uncouplers to improve pollutant (toluene) degradation rates. Metabolic uncouplers were reported to reduce the cell mass in activated sludge systems, but are untested in biofilters and the current work i...
