There is a significant need of fully satisfactory method for removal of VOCs. There are several methods including physical, chemical and biological treatments available to remove VOCs by either recovery or destruction. The aim of the present study is to summarize the available methods for VOC removal; trying to find a promising method among the available techniques. A wide range of VOCs can be treated biologically in which it offers advantages over more traditional processes including lower operating and capital costs and a smaller carbon footprint. However, due to a complex nature and diversity of VOCs it is hard to find TI - VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS REMOVAL METHODS: A REVIEW JO - American journal of biochemistry & biotechnology/American journal of biochemistry and biotechnology DO - 10.3844/ajbbsp.2012.220.229 DA - 2012-04-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/volatile-organic-compounds-removal-methods-a-review-egXruT5aBf DP - DeepDyve ER -
