AB  - Microbes bound to a wheat bran/red wood powder/diatomaceous earth carrier were 
      used as inoculants for a biotrickling filter (BTF) for treating gases 
      contaminated with a mixture of benzene, toluene, and o-xylene (BTo-X). An overall 
      removal efficiency of more than 87.9% was achieved after a start-up period of as 
      low as 4days. At BTo-X loading rates (LRs) below 60.0g/m(3)h, the BTF's 
      performance was similar for EBRTs of 90, 60, 45 and 30s with an elimination 
      capacity (EC) almost approaching the LR; stable REs above 91.3% for benzene and 
      toluene and above 82.8% for o-xylene were achieved. A maximum EC of 97.7g/m(3)h 
      was obtained at inlet load of 146.4g/m(3)h. The mass ratio of carbon dioxide 
      produced to the BTo-X removed was approximately 2.62, which confirmed complete 
      degradation of BTo-X. The results demonstrate that microbes bound to a solid 
      carrier can be an alternative to traditional liquid inoculums applied in BTFs and 
      highlight their potential applicability to BTF technologies.
