Mass Effect of Coconut Shell-derived Activated Carbon on Adsorption of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene in Motorcycle Emissions

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2021
The use of motorized transportation in Indonesia is now proliferating. The higher the use of motorized vehicle-based transportation in an area, the higher the potential for air pollution.

A sustainable approach to combat industrial air pollution using commercially available and engineered gas-phase adsorbents

Atmospheric Environment: X
The occurrence of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in the environment has human health and ecological consequences; hence, it is essential to remediate the gas-phase industrial plume before its release.

Measurement report: 30 years of BTEX monitoring at a suburban site in Switzerland supported by additional urban VOC observations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Since 1994, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene isomers (BTEX) are monitored in the ambient air at Dübendorf (DUE) in the suburban area of Zurich city in Switzerland.

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

BTEX gas sensor based on hematite microrhombuses

Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2021
Abstract Over the past fifty years, gas sensors based on metal semiconducting oxides (MOXs) have drawn attention due to their performance in detecting various gases. Thus, we report herein on a BTEX gases sensor based on hematite (α-Fe2O3) microrhombuses synthesized via the hydrothermal method.

Assessment of BTEX concentration around fuel station in Eastern Province Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

International Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, 2021
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) concentration levels in and around the fuel station and its harmful health effects in the city of Dammam and Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Analysis Study of Available Alternatives for Mitigation of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emissions from a Glycol Dehydration Unit

International Journal of Chemical Engineering
A natural gas (NG) dehydration unit based on glycol absorption is considered one of the most important gas processing units, aiming to decrease water content and consequently adjust its dew point.

Observations and numerical simulations of a valley‐exit wind in the Alpine Bolzano basin

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The evolution and spreading of the nocturnal valley‐exit wind flowing from the Isarco Valley into the Bolzano basin, in the Italian Alps, are found to be influenced by the basin temperature stratification. Measurements and high‐resolution simulations show that a cold‐air pool favors an upward trajectory of the flow at the exit of the valley.

Advanced treatment of wastewater with BTEX

Desalination and Water Treatment, 2012
Abstract Standards for concentrations of pollutants in wastewaters discharged to the environment are especially restrictive for BTEX, the compounds which are recognized to be particularly toxic. There is a need to lower the BTEX concentration in the stream coming out of the bioreactor. For this purpose, a high-pressure membrane process was proposed.
