From Biofiltration to Promising Options in Gaseous Fluxes Biotreatment : Recent Developments, New Trends, Advances, and Opportunities

Dr. Gabriela Soreanu is a lecturer at "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania, with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the same university (2001). She has two postdoctoral stages in gas biotreatment field in Canada (Environment Canada, Burlington, ON, 2004–07; Université de Sherbrooke, QC, 2002–03) and currently is director of BIO-MARS project (Sustainable Biochemical Method for Air Revitalisation in Spacecrafts), R&D Program for Space Technology and Advanced Research―STAR, funded by Romanian Space Agency. Her scientific portfolio includes books/chapters (7), articles (46), patents (3). Hirsch (h) = 13.

Dr. Éric Dumont is an associate professor (University of Nantes, France) in the Department Energetic and Environmental Engineering (UMR CNRS 6144 GEPEA, IMT-Atlantique). He graduated in Chemical Engineering (engineer's degree) in 1994 from the University of Savoie, France, and then completed a PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Nantes, France, in 1999. His research focus is on the design, analysis and application of processes for the remediation of contaminated gases. Applications include treatment of odors, air toxics and biogas production. He is currently working on the development of bioprocesses and multiphase systems for the treatment of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds.
