Biofiltration of α-pinene vapours using municipal solid waste (MSW) - Pruning residues (P) composts as packing materials

In this study, a biofiltration system was designed using mature composts of municipal solid waste (MSW) or MSW mixed with pruning residues (MSW-P) as packing materials to treat vapours of α-pinene (a dominant volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted during the MSW-P co-composting). Monitoring the ef...
