Systemic studies on the bioremediation of co-contaminated PAHs and heavy metals are
lacking, and this paper provides an in-depth review on the topic. The released sources and …

Petroleum hydrocarbons are a class of anthropogenic compounds including alkanes,
aromatic hydrocarbons, resins, asphaltenes and other organic matters, and soil pollution …

Having worked with biofilms since the 1970s, I know that they are ubiquitous in nature, of
great value in water technology, and scientifically fascinating. Biofilms are naturally able to …

The mishaps involving oil containers, tanker collisions, leaks as a result of ruptured oil
pipelines, etc. that result in crude oil spills are a very significant topic of concern. Recently …

Field-weathered crude oil-containing soils have a residual concentration of hydrocarbons
with complex chemical structure, low solubility, and high viscosity, often poorly amenable to …

Oil pollution has been a worldwide concern especially in environments where treatment is
quite difficult to apply. Marine polluted sediments, in particular, constitute one of the most …

Soil contamination is a worldwide problem, mainly caused by a wide range of organic
compounds: eg, alkanes, aromatics, and polynuclear aromatics. Using ozone to help …

Soil remediation is one of the most important issues in environmental engineering. In this
study, the effect of phenanthrene, anthracene, and benz (a) anthracene chemical structures …

Petroleum contains low biodegradability compounds, requiring powerful oxidants to become
mineralized or more biodegradable. This study therefore aimed to compare the efficiency of …

We evaluated how gas-phase O3 interacts with residual petroleum hydrocarbons in soil.
Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were 18±0.6 g/kg soil, and TPH carbon constituted∼ …
