Biodegradation of tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) using biological granular activated carbon (bio-GAC)
ABSTRACT Tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), a metabolite of the gasoline additive methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), is a common groundwater contaminant encountered at petroleum remediation sites. This work explored the capability of YZ2, a novel pure culture, to completely degrade TBA aerobically in both …

The effects of Fe(III) reduction on biodegradation of fuel oxygenates and chlorinated ethenes
Fuel oxygenates, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), and chlorinated ethenes (TCE, cis-DCE and VC) are two groups of contaminants prevalent in groundwater systems. Fe(III) reducing conditions are dominant in many sedimentary environments. However, the effects of Fe(III) …

Photochemical Formation Mechanisms and Applications of Mn Oxide Nanomaterials
… (O2•−) rather than hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) was added as an •OH scavenger to determine the role of •OH in Mn oxidation during nitrate photolysis. However, when TBA was added, more Mn oxides were formed, which was unexpected. Although TBA is commonly assumed to …
