Co-treatment of an oily sludge and aged contaminated soil: permanganate oxidation followed by bioremediation
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-05-01)
The bioremediation of an oily sludge (321 ± 30 mg of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons/kgDRY SLUDGE and 13420 ± 1300 mg of aliphatic hydrocarbons/kgDRY SLUDGE) by mixture with contaminated soil (23 ± 2 mg of polycyclic ...
Natural and anthropogenic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Chubut River (Patagonia, Argentina)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-05)
In march of 2001 a study was carried out to evaluate hydrocarbon levels in the lower course of the Chubut River. The study included 12 sample stations along the river from San Cristobal Bridge to the confluence with the ...
Effectiveness of the Zea mays-Streptomyces association for the phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons impacted soils
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-11)
Restoring polluted sites by petroleum hydrocarbons is a challenge because of their complexity and persistence in the environment. The main objective of the present study was to investigate the performance of plant-actinobacteria ...
Vitellogenin and Lipovitellin from the prawn Macrobrachium borellii as hydrocarbon pollution biomarker
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-08)
During reproduction vitellogenin (VTG) is transported to vitellogenic oocytes as a precursor of egg yolk lipovitellin (LV). As VTG synthesis is affected by environmental stressors, it is widely used as biomarker in endocrine ...
Diffusion and adsorption selectivities of hydrocarbons over FCC catalysts
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2007-08)
The adsorption isotherms of hexane, toluene and decane on a commercial FCC catalyst were determined in experiments performed in a CREC Riser Simulator laboratory reactor injecting different volumes of the pure hydrocarbons ...
New Solubility Data of Hydrocarbons in Water and Modeling Concerning Vapor-Liquid-Liquid Binary System
(American Chemical Society, 2007-12-22)
Solubility data in water of ethane, propane, isobutane, n-butane, n-pentane, and n-hexane have been obtained as a function of temperature in vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) conditions. The minimum temperature of ...
Remediation of a soil chronically contaminated with hydrocarbons through persulfate oxidation and bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The impact of remediation combining chemical oxidation followed by biological treatment on soil matrix and microbial community was studied, of a chronically hydrocarbon contaminated soil sourced from a landfarming treatment. ...
Biosurfactant-enhanced degradation of residual hydrocarbons from ship bilge wastes
(Springer Heidelberg, 2000-07)
The use of Bacillus subtilis O9 biosurfactant (surfactin) and of bioaugmentation to improve the treatment of residual hydrocarbons from ship bilge wastes was studied. A biodegradation experiment was conducted in aquaria ...
Influence of nutrients addition and bioaugmentation on the hydrocarbon biodegradation of a chronically contaminated Antarctic soil
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-04)
Complexity involved in the transport of soils and the restrictive legislation for the area makes on‐site bioremediation the strategy of choice to reduce hydrocarbons contamination in Antarctica. The effect of biostimulation ...
