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

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

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

Large-scale aerobic windrow composting has been used to bioremediate washout lagoon soils contaminated with the explosives TNT (2,4,6-trinitrotoluene) and RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) at several sites within the United States. We previously used 15N NMR to investigate the reduction and binding of
