Abstract
In a process for the biological elimination of halogen- and sulfur-containing gaseous pollutants from a waste air stream, the waste air stream is passed through an intermittently moistened trickling filter tower. In a preferred variant of the process, individual sections of the surface of the trickling filter are subjected to intermittent phase-displaced moistening. Cyclic moistening of the trickling filter sections can be achieved in this way. The volume-time yield in the biological purification of gas streams can be considerably improved by this process.
