The BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene) mixture is an environmental pollutant that has a high potential to contaminate water resources, especially groundwater. The bioremediation process by microorganisms has often been used as a tool for removing BTEX from contaminated
A new strain Mycobacterium cosmeticum byf-4 able to simultaneously degrade benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene (BTE(o-)X) compounds has been isolated and identified previously in our laboratory. We further report here the extent of degradation of every BTE(o-)X component, and unravel
The German Working Group on Indoor Guidelines of the Federal Environment Agency and the States' Health Authorities is issuing indoor air guide values to protect public health. No human studies are available for health evaluation of ethylbenzene in indoor air.
Because benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and ethanol are important contaminants present in Brazilian gasoline, it is essential to develop technology that can be used in the bioremediation of gasoline-contaminated aquifers. This paper evaluates the performance of a horizontal-flow

Endcapped stationary phases were prepared after thermal immobilization of poly(methyloctadecylsiloxane) (PMODS) onto zirconized and titanized silica supports. These new stationary phases have lower densities of residual hydroxyl groups, according to infrared spectroscopy and 29Si CP-MAS NMR and as shown by
