Bioremediation of Petroleum Pollutants
BioScience, 1995Hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms are ubiquitously distributed in soil and aquatic environments. Populations of hydrocarbon-degraders normally constitute less than 1% of the total microbial communities, but when oil pollutants are present these hydrocarbon-degrading populations increase, typically to 10% of the community.

Systems chemical analysis of petroleum pollutants
Analytical Chemistry, 1976The application of an established mathematical treatment useful for the characterization and identification of petroleum pollutions is described. Using discriminant analysis of relevant infrared spectrophotometric data, 99% of numerous known and unknown oil samples have been correctly characterized and identified.

Petroleum pollutant degradation by surface water microorganisms.
Environmental science and pollution research international, 2006It is well known that the composition of petroleum or some of its processing products changes in the environment mostly under the influence of microorganisms. A series of experiments was conducted in order to define the optimum conditions for an efficient biodegradation of petroleum pollutant, or bioremediation of different segments of the environment.

Petroleum pollution and mutation in mangroves
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1994Abstract Chlorophyll-deficiency has often been used as a sensitive genetic end-point in plant mutation research. The frequency of trees heterozygous for nuclear chlorophyll-deficient mutations was determined for mangrove populations growing along the southwest coast of Puerto Rico.

Biotechnology of petroleum pollutant biodegradation
Microbial Ecology, 1986Procedures designed to meet the physiological needs of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) degrading microorganisms are useful in mitigating environmental damage caused by marine and terrestrial PHC spills. By similar approaches, soil can be utilized as a cost-effective biological incinerator for hazardous PHC wastes.

Microorganisms and Petroleum Pollutants
BioScience, 1978Microorganisms play an important natural role in removing polluting petroleum hydrocarbons from contaminated ecosystems. Environmental conditions and hydrocarbon composition influence biodegradation of contaminating oil. Microbial seeding and environmental modification can be used, in certain situations to enhance biodegradation, as part of an overall ...

Treatment of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Pollutants in Water
2021Due to industrialization, worldwide demand of hydrocarbons is escalating day by day and so is the growth of petroleum industries. The petroleum industries (refineries and petrochemicals) can create a detrimental impact on the environment by their discharges, oil spillage and waste generation during storage, processing and transportation.

Plasma remediation for petroleum pollution of the sea
Waste Disposal & Sustainable Energy, 2021This paper is concerned about the application of glow discharge plasma for the remediation of petroleum pollution of the sea. We used diesel fuel as the processing target and conducted a series of lab-scale studies. Several factors including the discharge voltage, gas flow rate, the concentration of NaCl, initial temperature, and initial concentration ...
