Mathematical modelling of the biofiltration treating mixtures of toluene and N-propanol in the biofilm and gas phase

A critical review of the article: Mathematical modelling of the biofiltration treating mixtures of toluene and N-propanol in biofilm and gas phase

“…The results of Li et al in 2023 were almost identical to the simulations and experimental data presented by Sivakumar et al in 2015. That is, both present a mathematical biofilter model based on mass transfer and parameter estimation using the homotopy perturbation method, which was then solved by the finite element method.…”

“…The article under review explores a mathematical model used with a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the biofilm and gaseous phase to investigate various aspects of the biofiltration process. The homotopy perturbation method is used to observe the solution of the model, which is compared to solutions by numerical methods (Li et al, 2023).…”
