conclusions concerning the ability of salicorniaeuropea to survive in the contaminated areas, it might be suitable that endemic types of this plant would be cultivated in contaminated coast lines. results the highest uptake was at eight mg crude oil, per one g of soil and the least uptake was at 13.75 mg crude oil, per one g of soil. it seems that physical characteristics of crude oil are the m...

Backgroud:Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) is a plant widely used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. The present work deals with the chemical composition of the crude essential oil extracted from leaves of L. alba and evaluation of its antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities. Methods: Leaves of L. alba were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC...

The major oil industry upstream activities include the exploration, drilling, extraction, pipelines installation, and production of crude oil. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to plan for these operations as a crude oil supply chain network design problem. The proposed multi-period mixed integer linear programming model entails both strategic (e.g., facility location and allocatio...

––Based on technology and economy, a design of explosion-proof heater of bunched pipeline is mentioned in this paper to solute the problems of the present heater which is used to heat crude oil in winter. The structure and working principle of this new heater are introduced. And the function of the new heater’s swirl plate is described, before the heater power of the new heater is analyzed. The...

This paper proposes a convenience yield-based pricing for commodity futures, which embeds incompleteness of commodity futures markets in convenience yields. By using the pricing method, we conduct empirical analyses of the prices of WTI crude oil, heating oil, and natural gas futures traded on the NYMEX in order to assess the incompleteness of energy futures markets. We show that the fluctuatio...

The use of laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy to characterize crude oil has privileges compared to conventional techniques in terms of reducing the size of sample, rapidity of measurements, high sensitivity and simplicity of sample handling and possibility of in situ measurements. The fluorescence radiation emitted from crude oil is the result of the interaction between the aromatic ...

the effects of nitrogen (n) and phosphate (p) concentrations and temperature on crude oil biodegradation by two bacterial strains pg01 and pg02, previously isolated from persian gulf, were assessed. in order to determine the optimum concentration of n and p sources and temperature for oil consumption by the isolates, bacteria were cultured in 100 ml agitating culture flasks containing mineral s...

Microbial enumeration and identification were carried out on several oil contaminated soil samples collected from gasoline and diesel stations. Bacteria were the most dominant microbiota and were therefore classified to generic level. Eleven main genera were detected and Corynebacterium was the predominant genus in all the samples. Biochemical characterisation and substrate utilisation showed h...
