BTX Removal from Open Aqueous Systems by Modified Cellulose Fibers and Evaluation of Competitive Evaporation Kinetics

Abstract: BTX stands for Benzene, Toluene, and Xylenes, which are volatile organic compounds contained in petroleum products such as gasoline. They have negative health effects and are sadly known for soil, air, and water contamination. This paper provides an investigation on BTX removal from open water systems like those represented by natural water bodies. In such systems, the evaporation process takes place, stealing the pollutants from the aqueous matrix by transferring them into the air, resulting in a secondary po… Show more

“…Several kinetic models cited in the literature can study the desorption mechanism [25][26][27], in our case the model tested is the analytical solution of the Fickian diffusion model, which is described previously. The methodology adopted consists in controlling the mass percentage of the oil as a function of the time of the experimental results with simulations of analytical treatments during desorption.…”

“…solventi, rifiuti e impianti di trattamento di acque reflue 3 . Sono noti per la contaminazione del suolo, dell'aria e dell'acqua e nel settore chimico sono utilizzati come composti di partenza per ottenere plastiche, resine, detergenti, pesticidi e vernici 4 . Degli studi iniziali, collegati all'uso dei pesticidi, hanno individuato il miele come buon indicatore della qualità ambientale e sentinella per il biomonitoraggio 5 .…”

“…L'inquinamento di BTEX in acquaè dovuto invece a scarichi di acque reflue da processi industriali, rilascio di prodotti di serbatoi di stoccaggio e uso di solventi 4 ; studi recenti hanno dimostrato per la prima volta la presenza di questi composti in ambiente acquatico su mozziconi di sigarette 6 . Altre emissioni di COV le individuiamo all'interno degli edifici, anche con un livello 2-10 volte superiore rispetto all'esterno, a causa di prodotti per ufficio, materiali sintetici, detergenti, deodoranti per ambienti, prodotti per la manutenzione 7 .…”
