  • Biological filter for removing volatile hydrophobic compounds from gas emissions
    Patent number: 5691192
    Abstract: Biological filter for removing volatile, hydrophobic compounds, such as toxic styrene, from gas emissions. These are broken down with a fungus, which is immobilized on a carrier of inert material, such as perlite. Preferably active carbon is also added. The filter is manufactured by cultivating the fungus on the carrier with the aid of the compound which is to be removed. In order to be able to make a filter quickly with a homogeneous distribution of the fungus therein, it is preferable to use a spore forming fungus.
