Alleviation of metal and BTEX inhibition on BTEX degradation using PVA-immobilized degrader: kinetic model of BTEX degradation

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2013
Alleviation of metal inhibition on BTEX degradation using PVA-immobilized degrader (Mycobacterium sp. CHXY119) was investigated. When BTEX of 29 mg L(-1) [B:T:E:X = 1:1:1:1 (mg)] was used, more than 99 % of BTEX was simultaneously degraded by the free cells within 170 h. In contrast, BTEX of 114-172 mg L(-1) seriously inhibited degradation.

Biofiltration for BTEX Removal

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 2012
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) biofiltration is an increasingly popular research area because it offers a relatively cheap solution to limit emissions of these toxic agents to the atmosphere. The authors review different technological options for biofiltration, and discuss the main influencing factors including type of packing ...

Microfluidic Device for Airborne BTEX Detection

Analytical Chemistry, 2001
We fabricated a microfluidic device for the optical detection of airborne benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX). The device consists of concentration and detection cells formed of 3 cm x 1 cm Pyrex plates. The concentration cell is composed of an adsorbent to concentrate the BTEX gases and a thin-film heater todesorb the concentrated gases ...

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

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 ...

BTEX decomposition by ozone in gaseous phase

Journal of Environmental Management, 2012
Environment management is turning its efforts to control the air pollution. Nowadays, gas phase contaminants coming from different sources are becoming into the main cause of serious human illness. Particularly, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are getting more and more attention from the scientific community due the high level of ...

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 ...
