| Abstract: | The fate of the carbon from degraded pollutants in biofiltration is not well understood. The issue of missing carbon needs to be addressed quantitatively to better understand and model biofilter performance. Elucidating the various carbon end-points in various phases should contribute to the fundamental understanding of the degradation kinetics and metabolic pathways as a function of various environmental parameters. This article reviews the implications of key environmental parameters on the carbon end-points. Various studies are evaluated reporting carbon recovery over a multitude of parameters and operational conditions with respect to the analytical measurements and reported distribution of the carbon end-points |
