New experiments on methane removal in biofilters

Raquel, Juan Carlos and Laura started new experiments focused on methane abatement in biofilters. Methane is an important greenhouse gas, however, it has a very limited solubility in water (dimensionless Hery's law constant = 30). Therefore, biological systems usually support a poor performance when dealing with methane. Thus, robust biological technologies must be developed to abate this important gaseous pollutant.
