Abstract Underwater sinkholes in Quintana Roo, Mexican Caribbean, are affected by the run-
off of nearby highways promoting the presence of aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons …

The effects of different spargers on the hydrodynamics and mass transfer of an airlift loop
reactor were investigated. The gas holdup, liquid loop velocity, and volumetric mass transfer …

In this study a microbial consortium, dominated by members of the genera Marinobacter and
Alcanivorax (Gammaproteobacteria) isolated from marine sediments of Southern Gulf of …

Sinkholes, also called cenotes, are a common feature in the karst aquifers found along the
state Quintana Roo in México. Certain aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons have been …

This study reports a new multiphase apparatus, the external-loop airlift reactor (EL-ALR),
with the RMF generators in the riser and downcomer columns, which shows the …

Dealing with oil spills is urgent, and bioaugmentation is a low-cost and environmentally
friendly method. However, little research has been done on the remediation effect of …

Hydrocarbon uptake by microorganisms in a multiphase bioreactor can be carried out by two
mechanisms: direct interfacial contact of microorganisms with hydrocarbon drops or …

In the present work was characterized in abiotic and biotic systems, the droplet size of
hexadecane (HXD) in emulsified form. Furthermore it was assessed the uptake of HXD in …

Coral reefs and watersheds are important ecosystems. Reefs provide many services to
coastal communities, including services such as recreation and commercial fisheries …
