Among the technologies for recovering hydrocarbon-polluted sites, bioremediation is particularly interesting for wastewater and residue treatment. In this chapter, we first introduce hydrocarbon bioremediation focusing on ...

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 ...

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 ...

The use of green remediation technologies (i.e.,phytoremediation,biore- mediation, mycoremediation) for the restoration of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites is one of the keys for sustainable development. These technologies ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
