background petroleum hydrocarbons are mix compounds and divided into four groups: saturates, aromatics, resins and asphalten. among various phases of crude-oil, the alkanes with medium length chain are favorable substrates that rapidly degraded, although short-chain alkanes are very toxic and long-chain alkanes have low solubility in water that reduce its bioavailability and make resistant to b...

The purpose of the present work is to show that light straight-run gasoline fraction can be used as feedstock for hydro-catalytic isomerization process, and isomerized product serve a component obtaining pure ecological commercial brand Euro-4 Euro-5. Transformation n-alkanes Zhanazhol oil’s with boiling temperature 180°C was studied. Isomerization carried out in flow unit stationary layer modi...

We report molecular dynamics simulations of liquid alkanes, squalane and tetracosane, confined between moving walls to which butane chains are tethered, effectively screening the details of the wall. As in an experiment, heat is removed by thermostatting the tethered molecules. Results obtained at high strain rates, typical of practical applications, suggest little or no difference between the ...

Poly(tert-octyl acrylamide)-poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) nanoparticles are prepared by RAFT dispersion polymerization at 70 °C in various n-alkanes. Thermoreversible flocculation occurs higher n-alkanes on cooling to 20 °C.

Introduction Conclusions References

Petroleum hydrocarbons are important energy resources used by industry and in our daily life, whose production contributes highly to environmental pollution. To control such risk, bioremediation constitutes an environmentally friendly alternative technology that has been established and applied. It constitutes the primary mechanism for the elimination of hydrocarbons from contaminated sites by ...
