Crude oil contamination of soil and water resources is a widespread issue. The present study evaluated the degradation aliphatic hydrocarbons (C 11 –C 36 ) in crude by 17 bacteria isolated from oil–contaminated soil. results suggested that Pseudomonas sp. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were best hydrocarbon-degrading presence surfactant Tween-80 (0.1% w/v). Based on investigation previous study, + ...

A major contributor to atmospheric and ground water pollution is caused by fuel hydrocarbons. These problems can often occur through accidental emission during storage or use. Out of the millions of underground fuel storage tanks that are in place throughout the country many are leaking and many more are destined to produce leaks at some future date. The problem is serious enough that under the...

Background:Several studies have reported the toxicological implications of inhalation of petroleum hydrocarbon fumes in animal models. But, there is certainly little or no documentation of the exposure to petroleum hydrocarbon fuel on oxidative stress levels in humans, unlike the pulmonary physiology. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of constituents of the hydrocarbon f...

The precipitation of chromium(III), copper(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II) by biogenic hydrogen sulfide generated by sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio sp., and the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in the presence of heavy metal by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AT18 have been carried out. An anaerobic stirred tank reactor was used to generate hydrogen sulfide with Desulfovibrio ...

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 ...

contamination of soil was investigated in this study from the tehran oil refining co. of iran. fifteen soil samples were collected at several points in the azimabad, 15 km south of tehran city, iran. samples were collected at depths of 0–30 cm. control sampleswere prepared to determinebackgroundlevels ofsoil contaminationwithpetroleumhydrocarbonsfor comparison with contaminatedsites. total petr...

Abstract Land farming technique was used to treat hydrocarbon contaminated soil collected from a crude oil spill sites in Edo State, Nigeria. Calibrated standard auger collect samples the site at depth below 30 cm. The were characterized and classified. Cow dung NPK fertilizer added as additives complement nutriments of before total petroleum (TPH) quantification remediation procedures. Factori...

Petrochemical industries can potentially impact the environment due to their activities and products. This case study has considered adverse effects of petrochemical industries that are located inside the PETZONE with respect to the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and total petroleum hydrocarbon in wastewater effluents. The average concentrations of ∑PAHs group I and II were lower ...
