Response of soil microorganisms to radioactive oil waste : 1 results from a leaching experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
13 Oil wastes produced in large amounts in the processes of oil extraction, refining, and 14 transportation are of great environmental concern because of their mutagenicity, toxicity, high 15 fire hazardousness, and hydrophobicity. About 40% of these wastes contain radionuclides; 16 however, the effects of oil products and radionuclides on soil microorganisms are frequently 17 studied separately. 18 The effects on various microbial parameters of raw waste containing 575 g of total petroleum 19 hydrocarbons (TPH) kg waste, 4.4 kBq kg of Ra, 2.8 kBq kg of Th, and 1.3 kBq kg of 20 K and its treated variant (1.6 g kg of TPH, 7.9 kBq kg of Ra, 3.9 kBq kg of Th, and 21 183 kBq kg of K) were examined in a leaching column experiment to separate the effects of 22 hydrocarbons from those of radioactive elements. The raw waste sample (H) was collected from 23 tanks during cleaning and maintenance, and a treated waste sample (R) was obtained from 24 equipment for oil waste treatment. Thermal steam treatment is used in the production yard to 25 reduce the oil content. 26

متن کاملBiological Activity of Autochthonic Bacterial Community in Oil-Contaminated Soil
Soil microbial communities play an important role in the biodegradation of different petroleum derivates, including hydrocarbons. Also other biological factors such as enzyme and respiration activities and microbial abundance are sensitive to contamination with petroleum derivates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of autochthonic microbial community and biological parameters (...
متن کاملManagement of toxic and hazardous contents of oil sludge in Siri Island
Sirri Island is one of the most important islands in Iran where contains massive amounts of crude oil reservoirs and is a crude oil exporting and storage spot. Petroleum sludge wastes produced by the refineries are deposited in outdoor 2-ha open pits. 30 sludge samples from different depot locations were conducted in 3-time intervals and mixed with each other to form one homogenized sample. The...
متن کاملRisk of Leaching in Soils Amended by Compost and Digestate from Municipal Solid Waste
New European directives have proposed the direct application of compost and digestate produced from municipal solid wastes as organic matter sources in agricultural soils. Therefore information about phosphorus leaching from these residues when they are applied to the soil is increasingly important. Leaching experiments were conducted to determine the P mobility in compost and digestate mixture...
