Development of an Atmospheric-Pressure Photoionization Source for VOC Detection With a Miniature High-Pressure Mass Spectrometer. [PDF]
Rapid Commun Mass SpectromABSTRACT With the goal of sensitive, selective, targeted, and portable VOC quantification, an atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) source was developed for a miniature high pressure mass spectrometer, the MX908. The APPI source consists of a VUV lamp that was encased in a custom 3D‐printed apparatus.

BTEX biodegradation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum W1 and its proposed BTEX biodegradation pathways [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractBenzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and (p-, m- and o-) xylene (BTEX) are classified as main pollutants by several environmental protection agencies. In this study, a non-pathogenic, Gram-positive rod-shape bacterium with an ability to degrade all six BTEX compounds, employed as an individual substrate or as a mixture, was isolated.

Systems-Level Optimization of Hybrid Produced Water Treatment Systems for Sustainable Oil and Gas Production: A Review of Current Technologies. [PDF]
Glob ChallABSTRACT Produced water (PW) is the largest and most complex waste stream generated during oil and gas production, posing significant environmental, operational, and regulatory challenges due to its high salinity, dispersed hydrocarbons, toxic organics, heavy metals, and naturally occurring radioactive materials. Although numerous studies have reviewed
