Assessing the impact of packaging materials on anoxic biotrickling filtration of siloxanes in biogas: Effectiveness of activated carbon in removal performance.

Siloxanes (VMS) represent a class of organosilicon compounds known for their adverse effects on both the environment and human health. Their presence in biogas significantly hinders its economic valorisation, highlighting the need for effective treatment methods. This study investigates the performance of three different packing materials in the anoxic biofiltration of VMS (L2, L3, D4 and D5).
