Resumen
Nowadays, there is a wide variety of bioreactor configurations to treat specific pollutants from gas streams; however, biotechnologies share benchmark aspects that are herein described. In this chapter, the reader is introduced to the biological gas treatment field by means of a historical overview on how the initial devices used for gas treatment evolved to the innovative systems that are currently applied worldwide. The technical and operational fundamentals of biofilters, biotrickling filters, bioscrubbers, and emerging technologies such as two-phase partitioning bioreactors, multistage systems, and membranes are included. Perspectives and key research niches in the field are also presented and critically discussed.
