Degradation of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil [PDF]
Chemical oil dispersants are proprietary mixtures of surfactants and solvents which are directly applied to a spill in order to reduce the natural attractive forces of the oil. When oil treated with dispersants is exposed to mixing energy, typically from

Pilot-scale evaluation of bioremediation efficiency by powder formulation of a consortium of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria [PDF]
Introduction: Oil pollution can cause serious and long-term damage to the environment and the health of human communities. Hydrocarbon compounds can remain in nature for a long period and become environmental pollutants.

Distribution and Efficiency of Hydrocarbon-Oxidizing Bacteria in a Freshwater Reservoir [PDF]
Hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria were identified from three stations on DeGray Reservoir, Arkansas. The organisms were primarily gram-negative rods representing 9 taxa and 37 biotypes Pseudomonas spp. were the most common isolates.

A solid‐state fermented probiotic (PYW) is developed using wheat bran as substrate, containing high viable Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and bioactive metabolites. PYW alleviates intestinal inflammation by gut microbiota composition, enriching indole derivatives, activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, and regulating macrophage polarization. PYW

2017 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Degradation and Fate [PDF]
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised

Effects of hydrocarbon spills on the temperature and moisture regimes of Cryosols in the Ross Sea region [PDF]
Hydrocarbon spills have occurred on Antarctic soils where fuel oils are utilized, moved or stored. We investigated the effects of hydrocarbon spills on soil temperature and moisture regimes by comparing the properties of existing oil contaminated sites ...
