Abstract
Waste gas containing monomethylamine (MMA) was treated in a biofilter packed with compost along with wood chips and enriched with Pseudomonas mendocina. The biofilter could remove MMA to the extent of more than 99% at a loading of 42.36 g m−3 h−1 with an empty bed retention time of 12 s. At optimal operating conditions, the moisture content in the biofilter was maintained at around 45%. The biodegradative products of MMA were ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.
