Meat and bone meal as a novel biostimulation agent in hydrocarbon contaminated soils

Meat & bone meal extract and gelatin as renewable flocculants.

Readily available proteins were tested as renewable flocculants, and their actions were compared to that of anionic PAM, a common, commercial flocculant that requires the coaddition of a calcium ion source. Two soy proteins, a whey fraction, a porcine gelatin, and a meat & bone meal (MBM) extract were used in the flocculation test. It was found that MBM extract and porcine gelatin promoted clay...

Phytoremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils: principles and applications

Use of Soybean Meal, Fish Meal, and Meat and Bone Meal as Protein Supplements in Broiler Rations

The Effect of Oil Meal as a Micronutrient Fertilizer in Saline and Non-Saline Soils

A significant amount of the oil meal is produced annually in the oil industry. Oil meal addition into the soil can improve the soil organic matter and micronutrients concentration. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of olive, sesame and black cumin meal (0, 2 and 5 g 100g-1 soil) on the soil Cu, Zn and Fe concentration in saline and non-saline soils by a greenhouse experiment. T...

Low Temperature Ex Situ Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils

Many oil degrading bacteria thrive within the mesophilic temperature range, between 20°C and 40°C; bioremediation practitioners view this as the optimal temperature range for microbially driven hydrocarbon remediation. Environmental managers generally halt active bioremediation projects during the winter months as microbial activity is thought to be insignificant and not cost effective. Recent ...
