Enhanced Natural Purification of Crude Oil Contaminated Tidal Flat

Microwave thermal remediation of crude oil contaminated soil enhanced by carbon fiber.

Thermal remediation of the soil contaminated with crude oil using microwave heating enhanced by carbon fiber (CF) was explored. The contaminated soil was treated with 2.45 GHz microwave, and CF was added to improve the conversion of microwave energy into thermal energy to heat the soil. During microwave heating, the oil contaminant was removed from the soil matrix and recovered by a condensatio...

Comprehensive Perspectives in Bioremediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Environments

Microbial Outlook for the Bioremediation of Crude Oil Contaminated Environments

Bioremediation of soil contaminated crude oil by Agaricomycetes

BACKGROUND One of the most important environmental problems is the decontamination of petroleum hydrocarbons polluted soil, particularly in the oil-rich country. Bioremediation is the most effective way to remove these pollutants in the soil. Spent mushroom compost has great ability to decompose lignin-like pollution. The purpose of this study was the bioremediation of soil contaminated with cr...

Evaluation of bioremediation effectiveness on crude oil-contaminated sand.

A treatability study was conducted using sea sand spiked with 3% or 6% (w/w) of Arabian light crude oil to determine the most effective bioremediation strategies for different levels of contamination. The sea sand used in the study was composed of gravel (0.1%), sand (89.0%), and silt and clay (10.9%). The water content of the sea sand was adjusted to 12.6% (w/w) for the study. Different combin...
