Hazardous Creosote Wood Valorization via Fractionation and Enzymatic Saccharification Coupled with Simultaneous Extraction of the Embedded Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Using Protic Ionic Liquid Media

, 2021
This study investigates the use of the protic ionic liquid (IL) N,N,N-dimethylbutylammonium hydrogen sulfate [DMBA][HSO4] to effectively valorize and decontaminate hazardous creosote-treated timber...

Biodegradation of creosote-treated wood by two novel constructed microbial consortia for the enhancement of methane production.

Bioresource Technology, 2020
Lignocellulose biodegradation is limited because of its recalcitrant structure particularly when polluted by toxic and carcinogenic compounds such as creosote oil (CRO).

Indoor air levels of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) in public buildings with creosote impregnated constructions - A pilot case study using passive samplers.

Chemosphere
Creosote has been used in Sweden as a wood preservative in buildings since the 19th century. These buildings can function as workplaces and homes, but also cultural buildings to which the public has access.

Inhalation and dermal exposure of workers during timber impregnation with creosote and subsequent processing of impregnated wood.

Environmental Research, 2019
OBJECTIVES Coal tar creosote oils are used as highly effective wood protectants for, e.g., railway sleepers, utility poles and marine pilings. For impregnation of wood, the hot creosote oil is mostly applied in vacuum processes and by hot-and-cold ...

Comparison of oxidoreductive enzyme activities in three coal tar creosote-contaminated soils

Soil Research, 2019
This study used laboratory experiments to compare the effects of coal tar creosote on the activity of oxidoreductive enzymes in sandy loam, loamy sand and sandy clay loam soils. Different amounts of coal tar creosote were added to soil samples as follows:

Laboratory study of creosote removal from sand at elevated temperatures.

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 2018
In situ thermal treatment (ISTT) technologies have been applied at sites impacted by non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). There is a need to establish expectations for the treatment of semi-volatile NAPLs, including those consisting primarily of polycyclic

Livestock Effects on Genetic Variation of Creosote Bushes in Patagonian Rangelands

Environmental Conservation, 2018
Summary Genetic diversity is the raw material for species’ persistence over time, providing the potential to survive stochastic events, as well as climate and/or human-induced environmental changes.

Creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) ploidy history along its diploid-tetraploid boundary in southeastern Arizona-southwestern New Mexico, USA

Journal of Arid Environments, 2019
Creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) is a dominant shrub in the warm deserts of North America and also a classic example of an autopolyploid complex. We determined ploidy levels for creosote leaves preserved in ancient packrat middens from the Peloncillo ...
