Air pollution, a major concern at the end of the 20th century,
still remains a significant problem to be solved today.
Traditionally, industrial waste gases have primarily been treated
through physical or chemical methods. The search for new,
efficient, and cost-effective alternative technologies has led to
the development and, more recently, the improvement of gas phase
bioreactors.

This book is the first single text to provide a complete,
comprehensive picture of all major biological reactors suitable for
solving air pollution problems. The text describes the main
features and covers the major aspects, from microbiological to
engineering, as well as economic aspects, of the different types of
bioreactors. The book also presents an in-depth review of the
subject, from fundamental bench-scale research to industrial field
applications related to the operation of full-scale systems
successfully treating polluted air in Europe and the United States.
Material dedicated to more conventional non-biological technologies
has also been included, to provide a complete overview of the
different alternative treatment processes.

Audience: The different chapters have been written by
international experts, as a result of a fruitful collaboration
between European and American scientists and engineers. The
resulting text is a high quality, valuable reference tool for a
variety of readers, including graduate and postgraduate students,
researchers, professors, engineers, and those professionals who are
interested in environmental engineering and, more specifically, in
innovative air pollution control technologies.
