Oil Separation from Oil Polluted Soil by Micro Bubble Injection and Separation Mechanisms

Separation of oil and water in oil spill recovery operations *

The separation of water from oil that is collected in any oil spill recovery operation is a continuing and necessary requirement during every stage of the effort. Its importance is reflected in the cost of transport and storage of large volumes of oily water, the salvage value of separated oil and the added labor costs associated with long-term recovery operations. This paper addresses the effe...

High-Efficiency Separation of Bio-Oil

Separation identification and antioxidant evaluation of zingiber officinale essential oil

Usage of herbal medicine has been under so much attention for many years. They are gradually replacing synthetic drugs in pharmaceutical fields due to their fewer side effects. Nowadays, essential oils are widely used for the treatment of diseases as well as being applied as pesticide. In this study, 32 components of Zingiber essential oil were identified representing 97.42% of the extracted oi...

Molecular characterization and DNA methylation profile of Libyodrilus violaceous from oil polluted soil

Studies on earthworms using molecular markers are rare in Africa except a handful from South Africa. Reports on Libyodrilus violaceous,an earthworm found in West Africaare available including their metal tolerance and bioaccumulation capacity but their molecular characterization and ecotoxicology studies are scarce. In this study, triplicate L. violaceous specimens were collec...
