Abstract: The use of coal pitch as a binder in anode production for the aluminum industry is an outdated approach. Such pitch has a high content of carcinogens, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and tar phenols, and its environmental impact is…
Biochar has been widely applied for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil. However, the effect of biochar on the transport of petroleum degradation bacteria has not been studied. A typical Gram-positive petroleum degradation…
Petroleum refinery has been developed for production of transportation fuel with light alkenes and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (abbreviated BTEX), but global market demands are shifting to chemicals produced from light alkenes and…
1 Scope This document specifies a test method for the determination of the content of mono-aromatic, di-aromatic and tri+-aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel fuels, paraffinic diesel fuels and petroleum distillates. This document defines two procedures,…
Although condensate oils are neither well defined nor have a known chemical composition, they are considered by the petroleum industry to be good candidates for the dilution of heavy crude oil as this generates a blend with a lower viscosity. This…
In this study, pyrolysis experiments were conducted with a saturate-rich Tertiary source rock-derived oil from the South China Sea basin using a fixed-volume pressure vessel at temperatures from 350 to 425 C for 24 h (0.92-1.85% Easy R0) to…
Currently, research on oily sludge treatment mainly focuses on optimizing the deoiling effect and research on the deoiling mechanism, and the influence of petroleum components on the properties and treatment of oily sludge is rarely considered.…
1 Scope This document specifies a fluorescent indicator adsorption method for the determination of hydrocarbon types over the concentration ranges from 5 % (V/V) to 99 % (V/V) aromatic hydrocarbons, 0,3 % (V/V) to 55 % (V/V) olefins, and 1 % (V/V) to…
The effects of petroleum aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the embryonic and larval life stages of teleosts have been extensively examined. However, very little work has been conducted on how spilled oil affects fish sperm and there is no related…
Marine food webs are particularly vulnerable to oil spills if keystone species are impacted. To quantify lethal and sublethal toxicity in a key Holarctic forage fish, capelin embryos were exposed to Hibernia crude oil water accommodated fraction…
Despite intensive research carried out on particulates, correlation between engine-out particulate emissions and adverse health effects is not well understood yet. Particulate emissions hold enormous significance for mega-cities like Delhi that have…
Soils contaminated with crude oil are rich sources of enzymes suitable for both degradation of hydrocarbons through bioremediation processes and improvement of crude oil during its refining steps. Due to the long term selection, crude oil fields are…
Aromatic hydrocarbons are one of the main components of petroleum and its fractions. However, the characterization of its molecular composition is still a technical challenge for mass spectrometry because of the lack of ionization methods, especially…
Oil spill events in the marine environment can have a deleterious impact on the affected ecosystems, such as coral reefs, with direct consequences for their socioeconomic value. The mutualistic relationship between tropical corals and their…
Natural petroleum sulfonates (PS) was separated, purified and divided into several fractions by a new method liquid-liquid & soxhlet extraction. The effects of heating time, volume ratio of extractants (isopropanol aqueous solution-50/50 (by volume)…
