The study aims to develop a quantum learning-based learning instrument on hydrocarbon and petroleum; determine the feasibility of petroleum, effectiveness petroleum improve student's outcomes. This type research is development (R&D) using ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation). product developed consists syllabus, lesson plans, teaching materials, assessment...

The potential for biotransformation of weathered hydrocarbon residues in soils collected from two commercial oil refinery sites (Soil A and B) was studied in microcosm experiments. Soil A has previously been subjected to on-site bioremediation and it was believed that no further degradation was possible while soil B has not been subjected to any treatment. A number of amendment strategies inclu...

caspian sea as the biggest surrounded water body in the word has long been in the pressure from environmental standpoints due to the fact that its large is surrounding by the larg domestic, industrial and agricultural areas. concern to inverse impacts of the inputted pollutants on the aquatic organism and margin human societies’ health, quality monitoring of the sediment as the main fate of the...

Alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (APAHs) are abundant in petroleum, but data regarding their toxicological properties are limited. A survey of all monomethylated phenanthrene structures revealed that they were 2 times to 5 times more potent than phenanthrene for activation of human aryl hydrocarbon receptor in a yeast bioassay. Phenanthrenes with equatorial methyl groups had the great...

Hydrocarbon oils of the alga Botryococcus braunii, extracted from a natural "bloom" of the plant, have been hydrocracked to produce a distillate comprising 67% gasoline fraction, 15% aviation turbine fuel fraction, 15% diesel fuel fraction, and 3% residual oil. The distillate was examined by a number of standard petroleum industry test methods. This preliminary investigation indicates that the ...

Fossil fuels are used throughout the United States Antarctic Program. Accidental releases of petroleum hydrocarbons are the leading source of environmental contamination. Since 1999 McMurdo Station has been the site of the most extensive environmental monitoring programme in Antarctica. Nearly 2500 surface soil samples were collected from 1999–2007 to determine the spatial ‘‘footprint’’ of petr...

As part of a broad, multldlsciplinary effort to monitor the impact of petroleum exploration activities on the outer continental shelf areas of the Gulf of Mexico, the local effects of a drilllng rig on the benthic environment have been investigated. Petroleum hydrocarbons in or on seawater can become associated with suspended sediment partlcles I and be transported downward and incorporated int...

today oil removal from contaminated soil by new methods such as bioremediation is necessary.  in this paper, the effect of chemical fertilizers and aeration on bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil has been investigated. also the control group, (bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soil without treatment by chemical fertilizers and aeration treatment was examined. the cond...
