Effect of BTEX and Ethanol on Biodegradation of MTBE
Methyl-tert-butyl (MTBE) is widely used in gasoline to reduce ozone and carbon monoxide emissions. However, it is highly water-soluble and does not absorb well to sediments, making it move quickly through groundwater systems. In addition, MTBE resists biological degradation, compared to other gasoline components, probably because of the high energy required to cleave its ether bond. The contami...

This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the co...
متن کاملBiodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether under various substrate conditions.
Five aerobic enrichments efficient at degrading methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) under different substrate conditions were developed in well-mixed reactors containing a polyethlene porous pot for biomass retention. The five substrate conditions were as follows: MTBE alone; MTBE and diethyl ether (DEE); MTBE and diisopropyl ether (DIPE); MTBE and ethanol (EtOH); and MTBE with benzene, toluene, eth...
متن کاملBiodegradation of fungicide Thiram (TMTD) in soil under laboratory conditions
In vitro studies were carried out, using four selective media, to determine the effect of the main groups of soil microorganisms on the degradation of fungicide Thiram in soil. Soil from El Geraif (East Khartoum) that had no history of pesticide exposition was chosen to conduct this experiment. In general, Thiram have a fluctuating effect on the growth of organic nitrogen using bacteria up to 1...
متن کاملFactors controlling BTEX and chlorinated solvents plume length under natural attenuation conditions.
Natural attenuation is presently used at numerous sites where groundwater is contaminated. In order to simulate this attenuation, reactive transport models are often used but they are quite complex and depend on both physical and chemical conditions in the aquifer. As complex numerical models cannot be used to study all possible cases, we develop here analytical solutions to draw general conclu...
