BTEX biodegradation in contaminated groundwater using a novel strain (Pseudomonas sp. BTEX-30)

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2017
Abstract BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) compounds are the most frequently encountered subsurface contaminants among the various petroleum hydrocarbons. In this study, a new strain, able to degrade BTEX compounds, was isolated from oil contaminated groundwater. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolated strain was most closely

Combination of hydrodynamic cavitation and SR-AOPs for simultaneous degradation of BTEX in water

Chemical Engineering Journal, 2020
Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is an emerging technology gaining interest in water treatment for use in elimination of a wide range of organic pollutants. The energy released during cavitation phenomenon has number of applications and, particularly, it can

Revealing source signatures in ambient BTEX concentrations

Environmental Pollution, 2008
Management of ambient concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) is essential for maintaining low ozone levels in urban areas where its formation is under a VOC-limited regime. The significant decrease in traffic-induced VOC emissions in many developed countries resulted in relatively comparable shares of traffic and non-traffic VOC emissions ...

Influencing Factors of BTEX Volatilization

2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, 2010
Laboratory experiments were employed to investigate the influencing factors of BTEX volatilization. Characteristic of BTEX compounds was critical factor of volatilization; the higher saturated vapor pressure, the greater volatilizing speed. Type and structure of underlying materials determined the volatilization kinetics mode, the influence of channel ...
