Biodegradation of Benzene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene Mixture in a Date Palm Tree Bark-based Upflow Biofilter
The performance of a date palm tree bark-based biofilter inoculated with mixed microbial consortia was investigated for the removal of a benzeneethylbenzene-xylene mixture at a total inlet loading rate range of 38.0 to 612.0 g/m·h. The influences of the inlet pollutant concentration and air flow rate were studied. The maximum elimination capacities attained for benzene, ethylbenzene, and toluen...
متن کاملA Study of Removal of Ethylbenzene and Xylene Using Biofilter
In the present study, a laboratory scale corn-cob based biofilter inoculated with pseudomonas fluorescents (mtcc 9768) was used for investigating the degradation of ethylbenzene and m-xylene for a period of 60 days in two phases. for ethylbenzene maximum removal efficiency (re) was 72% at an inlet concentration of 4.26 gm -3 and for m-xylene re was 76% at an inlet concentration of 6.39 g m -3 a...
متن کاملEnhanced anaerobic biodegradation of benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylene-ethanol mixtures in bioaugmented aquifer columns.
Methanogenic flowthrough aquifer columns were used to investigate the potential of bioaugmentation to enhance anaerobic benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylene (BTEX) degradation in groundwater contaminated with ethanol-blended gasoline. Two different methanogenic consortia (enriched with benzene or toluene and o-xylene) were used as inocula. Toluene was the only hydrocarbon degraded within 3 years...
متن کاملCancer Risk Assessment Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene (BTEX) in the Production of Insulation Bituminous
Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with approximately similar physical and chemical characteristics. Benzene and Ethyl-benzene are known carcinogen as well as they affect the circulatory, nervous, and reproductive and respiratory systems. Toluene and Xylene also damage the nervous and reproductive systems. The main purpose of this study is to determ...
متن کاملSubstrate interactions during the biodegradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) hydrocarbons by the fungus Cladophialophora sp. strain T1.
The soil fungus Cladophialophora sp. strain T1 (= ATCC MYA-2335) was capable of growth on a model water-soluble fraction of gasoline that contained all six BTEX components (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the xylene isomers). Benzene was not metabolized, but the alkylated benzenes (toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) were degraded by a combination of assimilation and cometabolism. Toluene a...
