Pre-treatment of polychlorinated biphenyl analysis in mineral oils or oily waste muds.

Subcutaneous Injection of Oils or Oily Preparations

Performance Evaluation of Oily Waste Treatment Ways (TECHNICAL NOTE)

On the basis of key ways of oily waste treatment in Russia which has been described in the article and on the example of oil-contaminated soil (OCS) treatment there can be considered two most widespread technologies: bioremediation and thermal recovery. We developed the process flow sheet of the equipment (UT-2S) for industrial oily wastes treatment on the basis of high temperature air tight de...

High resolution gas chromatographic analysis of cytochrome P-448 inducing polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in hazardous waste.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which have been commercially manufactured since 1929, are complex mixtures of many congeners and several homologues. They have been used in a variety of industrial and non-industrial applications which has allowed large quantities to be released into the workplace and environment1-6. Based on a 198 1 estimate, as many as 17 million pounds of PCBs were entering ...

Mineral Oils, Untreated or Mildly Treated

Mineral oils (also known as base oils, mineral base oils or lubricant base oils) are chemical substances prepared from naturally occurring crude petroleum oil. Crude oil is distilled first at atmospheric pressure and then under high vacuum to yield vacuum distillates and residual fractions that can be further refined to mineral oils. Mineral oils refined from petroleum crude oils are complex an...

Aerobic Polychlorinated Biphenyl-Degrading Bacteria

Several bacterial isolates were characterized based on their abilities to degrade specific polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their 16s rRNA gene sequences. The members of one group of bacteria consisting of Alcaligenes species, including the PCB-degrading bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus H850, had strong abilities to degrade a broad range of PCBs but not the di-para-chlorine-substituted conge...
