In the search for a method that can remove pollutants from gases or enhance efficiency of treatment liquid wastes, electrolysis water and methanol solutions containing benzene, toluene, xylene were carried out in this work. Using filter-press flow electrochemical cell, two different anodes (diamond coatings mixed metal oxides) evaluated against oxidation contaminants solvents mentioned. Results...

abstract background: biogas is obtained by anaerobic decomposition of organic wastes buried materials used to produce electricity, heat and biofuels. biogas is at the second place for power generation after hydropower and in 2000 about 6% of the world power generation was allocated to biogas. biogas is composed of 40–45 vol% co2, 55–65 vol% ch4, and about 1% non-methanevocs, and non-methane vol...

Xylene is a cyclic hydrocarbon, and an environmental pollutant. It is also used in dyes, paints, polishes, medical technology and different industries as a solvent. Xylene easily vaporizes and divides by sunlight into other harmless chemicals. The aim of the present review is to collect the evidence of the xylene toxicity, related to non-cancerous health hazards, as well as to provide possible ...

This study aims at examining the reduction of indoor air contaminants by plants placed in an indoor space. Field measurements were performed using Aglaonema brevispathum, Pachira aquatica, and Ficus benjamiana, which were verified as air-purifying plants by NASA. Three conditions for the amount of plants and positions were used in two separate rooms whose dimensions are identical. The concentra...
