| Resumo: |
Gasoline vapors pollute the atmosphere and can be harmful to human and animal health. Tons of particles of this pollutant are expelled to the atmosphere, generating great economic losses to the industries and serious damage to the environment. Biofiltration is an option of simple technology with low costs that can be used for the gasoline vapor treatment. The present study was carried out in two biofilter systems of laboratorial scale. The biofilter system 1 was operated with a total volume of 2.72 L (four columns) and the biofilter 2 with 2.04 L (three columns) of total volume. Both of them were operated in sequence, with airflow of 450 mL entering each one. Results obtained were as follows for the removal efficiency (RE) of different gasoline vapor concentrations in the air: 1.3 g.m-3 during 35 days, RE of 100%; 3 g.m-3 during 52 days, RE of 90%; 4.5 g.m-3 during 48 days, RE of 70-80% and 8g.m-3 during 28 days, RE of 70%.
