General description
m-Xylene is an isomeric form of xylene. Experimental values of density (ρ) and speed of sound (u) of its binary mixtures with diethyl carbonate (DEC) have been evaluated over the temperature range of 298.15-323.15K and at 0.1MPa atmospheric pressure.†
Application
m-Xylene may be used in the synthesis of isophthalic acid and phthalaldehyde.

The purified and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different oxygen contents are employed as adsorbents to study their physicochemical properties and adsorption behaviors of toluene, ethylbenzene and m-xylene (TEX) in aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate that adsorption capacity is

The regulatory and metabolic networks that rule biodegradation of pollutants by environmental bacteria are wired to the rest of the cellular physiology through both transcriptional factors and intermediary signal molecules. In this review, we examine some formalisms for describing catalytic/regulatory

The TOL system encoded by plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida mt-2 is able to sense a large number of both exogenous and endogenous signals as inputs for the genetic and metabolic circuit that determines the biodegradation of m-xylene. However, whether
