Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiodegradation of BTEX: Optimization through Response Surface MethodologyAyat E. El Telib, Muftah H. El-Naas, Janice A. AcioResponse Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the biodegradation of Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and m-, o-, p-Xylene (BTEX) by Pseudomonas putida immobilized in PVA matrices in a specially-designed novel Spouted Bed Bioreactor System (SBBS). A mixture of 60 mg L-1 of BTEX compounds in air was contacted with the immobilized bacteria in three spouted bed bioreactors in series. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Jan 2017 · 8,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacterization, Concentrations and Emission Rates of Volatile Organic Compounds from Two Major Landfill Sites in KuwaitMohammad AlAhmad, Marwan Dimashki, Abdallah Nassour, Michael NellesProblem statement: The emission of pollutants from landfill sites in Kuwait is of major concern due to the associated adverse environmental and health impacts. There are 18 landfill sites in Kuwait which are contributing to the emission of atmospheric pollutants including; methane, carbon dioxide and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Approach: Determine the concentration and composition of VOCs in LFG emissions … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,976 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Hydrogen/Oxygen Release Compounds for the Remediation of VOCsS. Fiore, M.C. ZanettiProblem statement: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) were widespread in groundwater of industrialized areas and in situ remediation intervents characterized by a high environmental compatibility were of main interest. The scope of this study was the evaluation of the potential of two innovative reagents (HRC and ORC from Regenesis) for the remediation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The reagents respectively perform … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,439 accessesView PDF Cite
