Abstract The present work reports the investigation performed by comparing adsorption abilities of modified/grafted polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) functionalized with dihydroxy benzene like catechol (CAT) and catechol-hydroquinone (CAT-HQ) an oxidative decarboxylation method using potassium dichromate as oxidant to absorb Malachite green (MG) dye from aqueous solution through batch experiments. pe...

Introduction An aromatics complex is a combination of process units that can be used to convert petroleum naphtha and pyrolysis gasoline (pygas) into the basic petrochemical intermediates: Benzene Toluene and Xylenes (BTX). Benzene is a versatile petrochemical building block used in the production of more than 250 different products. Ethylbenzene, cumene, and cyclohexane are the most important ...

Hydrochemical data, compound specific carbon isotope analysis and isotopic enrichment trends in dissolved hydrocarbons and residual electron acceptors have been used to deduce BTEX and MTBE degradation pathways in a fractured chalk aquifer. BTEX compounds are mineralised sequentially within specific redox environments, with changes in electron acceptor utilisation being defined by the exhaustio...

Surfactants are among the main chemical contaminants in greywater (GW) and can cause severe health issues humans aquatic organisms. We assessed performance of a multistage constructed wetland system (EvaTAC) for GW treatment capacity microbial community linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) biodegradation. Physicochemical analyses were performed over 497 d, biomass samples collected high-through...
