some properties of compounds in degrading bacteria are required for biodegradation of contaminants to higher performance. those strains which have a high percentage of these features are more effective at biodegradation. the present experiments were designed to measure these parameters. in this study, measurement of cell surface hydrophobic-degrading bacteria was designed which oil was separate...

A new method for the synthesis of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) was developed in the present study. Ultrasonic waves, as a novel method, were used to synthesize the nanoparticles. The morphology and surface compositions of the particles were characterized by using FESEM, XRD, BET, and particle size analyzer. The synthesized nanoparticles were then utilized as a Fenton-like catalyst to degrade of...

Abstract Hydrocarbon pollution, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic in the sea, has a negative impact on biota must be controlled. Identification isolation of bacteria that have potential to degrade sea need done overcome hydrocarbon pollution. The methods used include quantitative test for biodegradation capacity, identification bacterial spe...

Biochars have increasingly been used as adsorbents for organic and inorganic contaminants in soils. However, during the carbonization process of pyrolysis, contaminants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated dioxins and furans (PCDD/DF) can be generated. In this study, biochars made from sawdust, were prepared at various temperatures ranging from 250 to 700 °C. T...

The demand for technological and industrial change has become heavily dependent on the availability use of petroleum products as a source energy socio-economic development. Notwithstanding, petrochemical are strongly related to global economic activities, their extensive distribution, refining processes, final routes into environment pose threat human health ecosystem. Additional environmental ...
