"Laboratory scale biofilters packed with a mixture of peat, bark and wood were used for xylene and toluene removal from waste air. Two kinds of peat, which differed in resulting pH of the leachate, were chosen to study degradation of the pollutants by a mixed culture. In case of the peat with the lower pH value, the feasibility of single and multiple pollutant loading during the start-up period were compared. In addition, augmentation with Pseudomonas putida strains was investigated. The experiments proved that lower pH value of the bed results in higher efficiency of toluene degradation from the mixture of pollutants. However, at higher pH values better degradation of both pollutants was achieved. Regarding the manner of loading during the start-up period, the best results were obtained using toluene as a single pollutant in the initial phase of operation.
