This invention is a bioreactor device adapted to improve air quality. The bioreactor consists of a base that houses the mechanical components and a vessel that holds liquid mixture of water, a photosynthetic microorganism, and a media. The bioreactor has an air pump which draws room air into the base of the device through an air filter. The bioreactor bubbles the air through the liquid mixture. Photosynthesis converts the carbon dioxide to oxygen.

Disclosed herein are carbon dioxide capture devices, facilities, methods, and compositions. Specifically disclosed herein are devices, facilities, compositions and methods to capture carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmospheric air for providing long-term sequestration of the captured carbon and/or utilization thereof. To this end, a carbon dioxide capture device configured in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention can comprise a coating substrate having at least one coatable surface and a carbon dioxide capture coating composition on a coatable surface of the coating substrate. The carbon dioxide capture coating composition preferably comprises a coating material and a photosynthetic organism, wherein the photosynthetic organism is at least one of admixed within the coating material and on an exposed surface of the coating material. The coating material can deliver all or a portion of water to the photosynthetic organism necessary for sustaining photosynthetic activity of the photosynthetic organism.

A computerized process for controlling an air purification system comprises a bioreactor in particular, the system may include a photobioreactor for treating urban air, in particular for CO.sub.2 removal. The system may be connected to the sanitation network and/or to a (drinking and/or municipal) water supply network. The connection and the drainage system may in particular maintain a fluidic isolation between the two types of networks. The system may optionally be equipped with measurement sensors and/or actuators that make it possible to control the internal activity of the bioreactor. Various control modes of a grid of bioreactors are described. Data on the status of the connected networks (e.g. water, sanitation, cooling, heating networks) contribute to the control of a network of geolocalized bioreactors. The software aspects are described. The supervision of the grid of bioreactors may in particular be carried out remotely via onboard communication devices.

The present invention discloses a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with monomethylamine degradability and the application thereof. This strain, named Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1, was deposited on May 24, 2017 in the China Center for Type Culture Collection in Wuhan University, Wuhan City, Hubei Province with a deposit number of CCTCC NO.: M 2017283. This Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1 was Gram-negative and rod-like, and round, green and opaque in the colony morphology, having a diameter of 1-2 mm. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa GDUTAN1 of the present invention can be applied to environmental remediation, degrading monomethylamine in the environment at a high degradation efficiency. When it degrades monomethylamine for 96 h at a substrate concentration of 50-140 mg/L, the degradation efficiency can reach more than 99%.

The invention discloses a preparation method and application of in-situ high-efficiency degradation carbon based material of VOCs in landfill based on waste regeneration, which comprises the following steps: air drying the agricultural and forestry wastes to a moisture content of 0.001 wt % 20 wt %, and the agricultural and forestry wastes mainly include: straw, wheat straw, leaves, branches, weeds, crushing them to a particle size of 0-50 mm with a grinder, and then using urea or amide as modifier The nitrogen enriched biochar was prepared by mixing the crushed agricultural and forestry wastes with a mass ratio of 1:50-1:10; the nitrogen enriched biochar was prepared by retorting the nitrogen doped agricultural and forestry wastes at 300-600 C. for 20-60 min, and then cooling them rapidly; the nitrogen enriched biochar was mixed with the sewage sludge with a moisture content of 90-98 wt. % with a weight ratio of 20:1-10:1 to get the nitrogen enriched microorganism The degradation efficiency of TVOCs in landfill is 96.74%99.70%.

Methods and system are provided for an arrangement having a combustion engine producing an exhaust gas flow, and an exhaust system connected to the combustion engine for receiving the exhaust gas flow, having a particle filter as exhaust gas aftertreatment device, and a feed device positioned to introduce a micro-organism capable of breaking down carbon-containing compounds directly to an exhaust passage receiving the exhaust gas flow.

A system for removing undesirable compounds from contaminated air includes a biofilter having porous glass media. Hydrogen sulfide is removed from contaminated air by passing the contaminated air through the biofilter.

A carbon abatement system includes at least one carbon abatement panel including a carbon abatement material. The at least one carbon abatement panel is rotatable about an axis to maximize exposure of the carbon abatement material to sunlight.

The present invention relates to a method for storing gaseous hydrogen, comprising the steps of producing methanoate (formate) through contacting gaseous hydrogen with carbon dioxide in the presence of a hydrogen dependent carbon dioxide reductase (HDCR), and thereby storing of said gaseous hydrogen. The HDCR and/or its complex is preferably derived from Acetobacterium woodii.

The invention relates to a method of reducing carbon dioxide and metal-containing dust and, more particularly, to a method of simultaneously reducing carbon dioxide and metal-containing dust by passing an off-gas, which contains carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide and metal-containing dust, through a reactor in which a sulfur-oxidizing microorganism is grown using carbon dioxide as a carbon source to produce sulfuric acid, and producing metal sulfates (MeSO.sub.4) by reaction of the produced sulfur acid with metal components present in the off-gas.
