The results of experiments on practical suitability of a biofilter packing made of natural materials – pinecones are provided. Geometric characteristics of a random packing of pine cones are calculated and compared with other types of packings of artificial and natural materials. Aerodynamic tests of the packing are carried out and obtained data are compared with the data for other packings. Some recommendations on improving the performance characteristics of the packing are suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
