The circular economy (CE) is a promising model in industrial waste management, offering viable long-term resource sustainability. rising costs of the oil and gas industry make circularity reliable approach for saving materials, money, energy. In recent years, attention has risen to need apply CE within produced water (PW) treatment. most common treatment practice PW based on mechanical treatmen...

Plant-microbe interactions are considered to be important processes determining the efficiency of phytoremediation of petroleum pollution, however relatively little is known about how these interactions are influenced by petroleum pollution. In this experimental study using a microcosm approach, we examined how plant ecophysiological traits, soil nutrients and microbial activities were influenc...

Field and laboratory investigations were conducted to characterize the composition of petroleum hydrocarbons in oily sludge underlying contaminated soils a decommissioned oilfield waste pit Kuwait. The results show that hydrocarbon was spatially variable. Highly toxic species such as BTEX PAHs generally lacking, both sludge- soil-borne dominated by long-chain hydrocarbons. soil contamination de...

BACKGROUND In recent years, pollution of soil and groundwater caused by fuel leakage from old underground storage tanks, oil extraction process, refineries, fuel distribution terminals, improper disposal and also spills during transferring has been reported. Diesel fuel has created many problems for water resources. The main objectives of this research were focused on assessing the feasibility ...

Role of microbes in bioremediation of oil spills has become inevitable owing to their eco friendly nature. This study focused on the isolation and characterization of bacterial strains with superior oil degrading potential from crude-oil contaminated soil. Three such bacterial strains were selected and subsequently identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as Corynebacterium aurimucosum, Ac...

Abstract In the present study, high surface area boehmite nanopowder was recovered from aluminum cans waste. The sodium aluminate solution first prepared by dissolving in NaOH and then, H 2 O added to precipitate boehmite. characterized means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) N adsorption–desorption techniques. thermal stability sample investigated using thermog...

the contamination of soil and water with petroleum hydrocarbons is a widespread environmental problem. the treatment requirement and removal of this pollutant are becoming more important in these days. total petroleum hydrocarbon (tph) has been reported to be toxic, carcinogenic, and an endocrine disrupter widely used in developing countries. various physical, chemical, and biological methods w...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES A longitudinal study on social determinants of malaria has been undertaken in different villages of Ramgarh PHC of Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan. The study aims to determine social determinants of malaria as applicable to existing cast groups of desert part of Rajasthan. METHODS Out of 940 households in five villages, 150 households of Rajput community (forward communi...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PK6, a potential petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading soil bacterium, was isolated from a site contaminated by a petroleum hydrocarbon spill from an automobile service station in Junagadh, Gujarat, India. Here, we provide the 6.04-Mb draft genome sequence of strain PK6, which has genes encoding enzymes for potential and related metabolic pathways of the strain.
