Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) bioremediation studies
The massive production of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a primary constituent of reformulated gasoline, combined with its mobility, persistence and toxicity, makes it an important pollutant. It was considered recalcitrant until a few years ago, but recently MTBE biodegradation in aerobic conditions has been demonstrated with both mixed and pure cultures. Mixed cultures are generally the more ...
متن کاملUsing Vegetation to Treat Methyl- Tert-butyl Ether Contaminated Groundwater
Methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a commonly used gasoline additive. Leaking underground storage tank systems, spills, and pipeline failures are the causes of reported groundwater contamination with MTBE. The impact of vegetation on MTBE plume transport in groundwater and volatilization was experimentally examined. The experimental system consists of six channels, five of which are planted with...
متن کاملRapid Biodegradation of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) by Pure Bacterial Cultures
Two pure bacterial strains capable of rapid degrading methyl tert–butyl ether (MTBE) were isolated from an industrial wastewater treatment plant, identified and characterized. These strains are able to grow on MTBE as the sole carbon and energy sources and completely mineralize it to the biomass and carbon dioxide. The strains were identified as Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella terrigena. Bot...
متن کاملGall stone dissolution with methyl tert-butyl ether: how to avoid complications.
Fifty of 52 patients with cholesterol gall bladder stones were treated with methyl tert-butyl ether. In 48 of 50 (96%) patients the stones dissolved after an average interval of 9.5 hours. Mean stone size was 1.7 cm (0.5-3.3 cm), mean stone number was 14.6 (1-70). Twelve patients (24%) complained of nausea, a burning sensation, or vomiting. In one patient bile leakage occurred and another suffe...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) from Aqueous Solution: A Review
Nowadays, underground water is the main source of drinking water that contamination to organic pollutants such as MTBE is an important issue. One of the suitable methods for these types of pollutants is the advanced oxidation methods. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are involved in the production of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that oxidize organic matter such as MTBE and even le...
