In this study, performance evaluation for the gas-phase o-xylene removal using a xylene-acclimated biotrickling filter (BTF) was conducted. Substrate interactions during aerobic biodegradation of three poorly soluble compounds, both individually and in paired mixtures (namely, o-xylene and ethyl
Toluene/o-xylene monooxygenase (ToMO) from Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1, which oxidizes toluene and o-xylene, was examined for its ability to degrade the environmental pollutants trichloroethylene (TCE), 1, 1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE), cis-1,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, chloroform, dichloromethane, phenol,
Benzene, toluene, o-xylene, ethylbenzene, trichloroethylene and dichloromethane are the most widely used volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and their toxic mechanisms are still undefined. This study analyzed the genome-wide expression profiles of human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells exposed to
In this study, gaseous benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-xylene (BTEX) were extracted by passive needle trap samplers (NTS) using divinylbenzene (DVB) particles (mesh sizes 60-80, 80-100, and 100-120, respectively) as packed sorbents. An aspirating pump measured sampling flow rates of NTS, and
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are capable of adsorbing pollutant chemicals. Their adsorptive capacities and adsorbing mechanisms, however, are not fully understood. As-grown CNTs often contain both crystalline and amorphous carbon, and the ratio of carbon types can affect adsorption. In this study, highly
The emission rates and the ambient air concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX) were measured over the intermediate cover layer and atmosphere of the Seropédica landfill, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. BTEX were sampled using coconut shell charcoal cartridges, followed by
The objective of this study was to predict the inhalation toxicokinetics of chemicals in mixtures using an integrated QSAR-PBPK modelling approach. The approach involved: (1) the determination of partition coefficients as well as V(max) and K(m) based solely on chemical structure for 53 volatile
This study aimed to characterize spatial/temporal variations of ambient volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a community-scale monitoring approach and identify the main sources of concern in Paterson, NJ, an urban area with mixed sources of VOCs. VOC samples were simultaneously collected from
A new technique for the analysis of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons by combining liquid-liquid microextraction with solid phase microextraction has been developed. The analytes were extracted from aqueous samples by an immobilized polydimethylsiloxane fiber assisted by the droplets of an appropriate
Adults of the Brown Ear Tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) have a predilection for feeding inside and around the ears of cattle and other hosts. A previous study has shown that the tick locates the host ears by 'push-pull' deployment of a repellent blend emitted at the anal region and an attractant
Samples of 4,4'-bis(3,3,3-tri-d(5)-phenylpropynyl)biphenyl 2, 9,10-bis(3,3,3-tri-d(5)-phenylpropynyl)anthracene 3, 1,4-bis(3,3,3-tri-d(5)-phenylpropynyl)naphthalene 4, and 4,4'-bis(3,3,3-tri-d(5)-phenylpropynyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl 5 were prepared via a Sonogashira coupling of
This article describes a new photoacoustic FT-IR system capable of operating at elevated temperatures. The key hardware component is an optical-readout cantilever microphone that can work up to 200 °C. All parts in contact with the sample gas were put into a heated oven, incl. the photoacoustic
Using a large-angle refractometer, the refractive indices of water, methanol, acetonitrile, acetone, ethanol, formaldehyde solution, 2-propanol, hexanes, 1-propanol, 2-butanol, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, 1,4-dioxane, cyclohexane, N,N-dimethylformamide, ethylene glycol, N,N-dimethylacetamide,
The diverse structures and pore topologies, accessible cages and tunnels, and high surface areas make metal-organic frameworks attractive as novel media in separation sciences. Here we report the slurry-packed MIL-101(Cr) column for high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of substituted
This paper describes results of treatability studies of the effect of humic substances (humate, HS, at the concentration 500-5000 mg l-1) on the Fenton (Fe2+/H2O2) treatment of industrial wastewater at pH 3.5 and 7.0. Without humate, the removal of all contaminants was significantly higher at pH 3.5
