Mathematical Modeling of Contaminated Soil Bioremediation Bases on Convection Dispersion Phenomena
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
A mathematical model has been analyzed for in-situ bioremediation with the purpose of remediating organic contaminated soil. Oxygen rich water when passed through the porous media of soil activates the aerobic microorganisms, leading to the biodegradation of the organic content. The model equations comprise three convection-dispersion partial differential solution of these equations has been conducted using the finite difference method. The effects of insufficient oxygen supply, growth of biomass and resistance to contaminant migration on the rate of biodegradation have been analyzed by numerically solving the equations.
The results from the numerical simulation indicate that the rate of biodegradation of contaminants in soil may be constrained not only by insufficient oxygen supply, but also by resistance to contaminant migration within the pore network.

Effect of Electrokinetic on Bioremediation of Disulfide Oil Contaminated Soil
The removal of disulfide oil (DSO) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. The bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. The effects of humidity, time and DSO concentration in soil was studied. The experimental results for the bioremediation of DSO show, the removal...
متن کاملBioremediation of Soil Contaminated by Diesel Oil
Were evaluated natural attenuation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation on the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soils contaminated with diesel oil. Bioaugmentation showed the greatest degradation in the light (C12 C23) fractions (72.7%) and heavy (C23 C40) fractions of TPH (75.2%) and natural attenuation was more effective than biostimulation. The greatest dehydrogenase activ...
متن کاملBioremediation of Herbicide-Contaminated Soil and Water
The contamination of soils, groundwater and surface waters by herbicides poses major clean-up problems. At present, the most common approach is containment, involving costly removal of highly contaminated soils to landfill sites. Bioremediation methods for in situ treatment are needed as alternative and/or supplementary approaches for cost-effective and residue-free clean-up. This project focus...
متن کاملBioremediation of Hexachlorocyclohexane Contaminated Soil: Field Trials
Hexachlorocyclohexane or the abbreviation HCH is identified as a monocyclic chlorinated hydrocarbon. HCH was discovered in 1825by Faraday, who just had discovered benzene. By reacting benzene with chlorine in bright sunlight, formation of HCH was observed. Neither Faraday nor the Dutch chemist Van der Linden, who in 1912 isolated the pure -isomer from a HCH mixture, realized the insecticidal p...

Application of cyclodextrins (CDs) in environmental management has been recently reviewed (1,2). Due to the multiple benefits offered by these complex forming carbohydrates such as improving the solubility, decreasing the volatility, and changing the partition of the contaminants between the soil phases as well as enhancing the bioavailability (toxicity) of the contaminants these additives have...
