Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Influence of Strain Rate on the Strain Hardening Behavior of a Lean Duplex Stainless Steel

MetalMat, EarlyView.
The aim of this study was to examine how strain rate influences the compressive strain‐hardening behavior of a lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101. Microstructural analysis using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed a strain‐induced austenite‐to‐martensite transformation.

Drinking seawater: Investigations into desalination

Procedia Manufacturing, 2019
Abstract Water is essential to living organisms, yet only 0.02% of this natural resource is accessible as a direct source of fresh- and drinking water. South Africa, being a coastal country, is an ideal candidate for the use of treated sea water as an alternative source of fresh water.

Suitability of slightly saline irrigation for alleviating drought stress in taro and yam in Tonga: Implications for climate‐resilient Pacific cropping systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.
