This manuscript deals with continuous experiments for biodegradation of individual dinitrotoluenes by a defined mixed culture in packed-bed reactors (PBRs) containing either poraver or fire-clay as packing material. Removal efficiencies and volumetric biodegradation rates were measured as a function of

Dinitrotoluenes (DNTs) are widely used in the manufacturing of explosives and propellants hence causing contamination of several terrestrial and aquatic environments. The present study describes biotransformation of 2,4-DNT and 2,6-DNT in marine sediment sampled from a shipwreck site near Halifax

In the present study, four explosives of NH(4)NO(3), mineral explosives (ME), picric acid (PA) and 2,6-dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT) have been investigated by using ZnO-doped nanoparticle sensors with additives of Sb(2)O(3), TiO(2), V(2)O(5) and WO(3). Firstly, eighteen ZnO-doped nanoparticle sensors were optimized

Detection of trace explosives residues at people and cargo control points has become a key security challenge. A severe obstacle is that all commercial and military high explosives have low to extremely low vapor pressures which make them very hard
