Escherichia coli bacteria were grown inside the channels of cordierite monoliths previously
coated with a very good adhered carbon layer. These monolithic structures were tested at room
temperature for the nitrate elimination of water solutions working as a batch monolithic bioreactor
and showed very good results, as 100% of the nitrates and nitrites were completely removed in
the used experimental conditions. Di erent rate flows of bacteria growth and nitrate elimination
were studied, showing that the higher the flow velocity, the faster the nitrate elimination. Finally,
the reproducibility tests confirmed the good performance of the proposed bioreactor.
