dc.description.abstract | The effect of temperature and moisture on the elimination capacity (EC), CO2 production and spore emission by Fusarium solani was studied in biofilters packed with vermiculite and fed with n- pentane. Three temperatures (15, 25 and 35 degrees C) were tested and the highest average EC (64 g m(-3) h(-1)) and lower emission of spores (2.0 x 10(3) CFU m(-3) air) were obtained at 25 degrees C. The effect of moisture content of the packing material indicates that the highest EC (65 g m(-3) h(-1)) was obtained at 50% moisture. However, lowest emission (1.3 x 10(3) CFU m(-3) air) was obtained at 80% moisture. Furthermore, the results show that a slight decrease in spore emission was found with increasing moisture content. In all cases, the depletion of the nitrogen source in the biofilter induced the sporulation, a decay of the EC and increased spore emission. | |
