Population growth and unpredictable climate changes will pose high demands on water
resources in the future. Even at present, surface water is certainly not enough to cope with …

Oxygenates, mainly methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), are commonly added to gasoline to
enhance octane index and improve combustion efficiency. Other oxygenates used as …

The present work reported a facile and simple in situ solvothermal growth method for
immobilization of metal–organic framework UiO-66 via covalent bonding on amino …

ABSTRACT A strain that efficiently degraded methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was obtained by
initial selection on the recalcitrant compound tert-butyl alcohol (TBA). This strain, a gram …

A simple procedure for the determination of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), ethyl tert-butyl
ether (ETBE), ethyl butyl ether (EBE), tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME), benzene, toluene …

The adsorption of methyl tert-butyl ether by granular activated carbon was investigated. The
experimental data were analyzed using the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm …

Carbon and hydrogen isotopic fractionation during aerobic biodegradation of MTBE by a
bacterial pure culture (PM1) and a mixed consortia from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) …

The production and use of fuel oxygenates has increased dramatically since the early 1990s
due to federal and state regulations aimed to improve air quality. Currently, methyl tert-butyl …

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), the most common gasoline oxygenate, is frequently detected
in surface water and groundwater. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of …

A simple, low-cost, and effective cooling/heating-assisted headspace solid-phase
microextraction (CHA–HS–SPME) device, capable of direct cooling the fiber to low …
