Application


  • Identification of environmental hazards of gasoline oxygenate tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME).: This study evaluates the environmental risks associated with the use of tert-Amyl methyl ether (TAME) as a gasoline oxygenate. The research highlights potential hazards to environmental and human health, underscoring the need for careful assessment and regulation of TAME use in fuels. (Huttunen et al., 1997).

The fuel oxygenate methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been frequently detected in groundwater and surface water. Since contaminated sites are often subsurface, anaerobic degradation of MTBE will likely be significant for remediation. As traditional approaches to evaluate biodegradation generally involve
