In this study chemical analyses and ecotoxicity tests were applied for the assessment of a heavily hydrocarbon-contaminated soil prior and after the application of a remediation procedure that consisted in the stimulation of soil autochthonous populations of hydrocarbon degraders in static-ventilated biopiles. Terrestrial bioassays were applied in mixtures of test soils and artificial control s...

Naphtha was separated by using a easily attainable metal–organic framework, Co3(HCOO)6, through selective molecular exclusion of alkane isomers with different degrees branching. The separation capability the compound evaluated naphtha mixtures 180+ hydrocarbon components. Co3(HCOO)6 exhibited efficient mixture and thus yielded products high octane ratings dynamic capacity.
