Effects of different agricultural wastes on the dissipation of PAHs and the PAH-degrading genes in a PAH-contaminated soil [PDF]

open access: yesChemosphere, 2017
Land application of agricultural wastes is considered as a promising bioremediation approach for cleaning up soils contaminated by aged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, it remains largely unknown about how microbial PAH-degraders, which play a key role in the biodegradation of soil PAHs, respond to the amendments of agricultural wastes.

Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from hot water extract of dried bonito processing residue using activated carbon

open access: yes, 2015
かつお節加工残滓を安全かつ有効に利用する研究の一環として,まず加工残滓の熱水抽出液に PAHs を合計 3217 μg/L 添加したモデル試料の活性炭による PAHs 最適除去条件を有用成分への影響も考慮しつつ検討した。 その結果,PAHs 除去率は最大 99.6% であったが,活性炭の種類による影響が大きかった。続いて,市販品の黒粉 2 種を熱水,エタノール,酢酸エチルで抽出し,PAHs 浸出量を分析した。エタノール抽出で PAHs が最大 12823 μg/L 浸出し,市販品にも高濃度の PAHs ...
