PCT No. PCT/FI95/00140 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 18, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 18, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 16, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/24960 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 21, 1995The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the removal of sparingly-soluble gaseous substances, especially sulfur-containing substances from waste gases with the aid of microorganisms. The waste gas containing the sparingly-soluble gas is directed (24) in the form of small gas bubbles into a suspension (16) of degrading microorganisms. A gas which has been pre-cleaned in this way is preferably led to another bioreactor (10), where microorganisms degrade the contaminant. The invention also relates to a new microorganism which is capable of degrading carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide. |
