A short-term ecological study was carried out to comparatively evaluate the phytoremediation potential potential of two leguminous plant species. This aimed at quantifying residual TPH as index for assessing a post-phytoremediated crude oil contaminated soil. Plant and soil analysis were carried out using the photometric method of American Petroleum Institute (API). Result has shown that Leucae...

Contamination of soil and groundwater by petroleum-based products is an extremely widespread and important environmental problem. Here we have tested a simple optical approach for detecting and identifying such industrial contaminants in soil samples, using a set of fluorescent DNA-based chemosensors in pattern-based sensing. We used a set of diverse industrial volatile chemicals to screen and ...

the objective of the study was to determine the effect of the process of natural bioremediation, and bioremediation supported by zb-01 microbiological preparation on the occurrence of collembola and araneae in conditions of soil contaminated by petroleum-derived substances. the studies were conducted in 2010-2012, in the area of the experiment station of the university of agriculture, near krak...

background: the contamination of ecosystem with petroleum and its derivatives is con­sidered as one of the most crucial environmental threat in iran. application of micro­organisms has been demonstrated as an appropriate and more practical alternative to clean-up petroleum hydrocarbons in the contaminated environments. objectives: the objectives of this study were isolating rhizosphere-inhabiti...

refining oil-contaminated soils has a great importance especially in oil producer countries such as iran. different methods have been provided to eliminate oil contaminations from soil. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide concentration in refining oil-contaminated soils with fenton chemical method. to do this, a calcareous soil complex sample was collected a...
