The subsurface contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) from leaking underground storage tanks, pipelines and refilling stations is one of the serious issues directly affecting the quality of groundwater. Application of advanced oxidation…
Petroleum hydrocarbons are a class of anthropogenic compounds including alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, resins, asphaltenes and other organic matters, and soil pollution caused by petroleum hydrocarbons has drawn increasing interest in recent years.…
Degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (HC) in sediments is often limited by the availability of electron acceptors. By allowing long-distance electron transport (LDET) between anoxic sediments and oxic overlying water, bioelectrochemical snorkels may…
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…
Crude oil leakage during production, transportation and storage has polluted large soil areas. If improperly treated, this could seriously threaten human health. In this study, low-permeability soil was selected as the contaminated target because it…
The remediation of organic pollutant-heavy metal co-contaminated soil is a great challenge. Immobilized microorganism technology (IMT) is a potential approach to remediate co-contaminated soil. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of IMT for…
Maintaining and supporting complete biodegradation during remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater in constructed wetlands is vital for the final destruction and removal of contaminants. We aimed to compare and gain insight into…
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been widely investigated to decrease the greenhouse effect. Geological CO2 storage sites are targeted mainly on depleted petroleum reservoirs or deep saline aquifers. However, CO2 leakage might take…
We developed a novel methodology that combines thermo-analytical measurements and mathematical methods to inform the reliable pyrolytic treatment of specific soil/contaminant systems. Our approach improves upon current "black-box" design methods that…
Throughout the productive life of an oil field there is usually a simultaneous production of gas, oil, water, and impurities. This formation water which composes the crude oil presents high levels of dissolved salts, being on average three times…
During the 1991 Gulf War, oil wells in the oil fields of Kuwait were set aflame and destroyed. This resulted in severe crude oil pollution of the countries only fresh water aquifers. Here, for the first time the natural attenuation and biodegradation…
Non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) remediation techniques using surfactants, such as enhanced pump and treat (also known as SurfactantEnhanced Aquifer Remediation, "SEAR") and micellar flooding provide a faster and more efficient way to recover NAPL…
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation and field experiment were used to investigate optimal operating parameters of high-pressure jet grouting equipment and clarify the boundary law of the injection area in the remediation…
Accidental oil leaks and spills can often result in severe soil and groundwater pollution. In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a powerful and efficient remediation technology. In this review, the applications and recent advances of three commonly…
Deterioration of our terrestrial environment due to decreasing soil quality brought on by crude oil spills and leakages is a major issue. In this study, soil samples were prepared by mixing clay (bentonite) and sand contaminated with 5 and 10 wt%…
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…
The oil and gas industry spends significant time and money assessing crude oil impacts in soil. Current industry practice involves sending soil samples to an off-site laboratory for the analysis of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) with standard…
Rhizoremediation is increasingly becoming a green and sustainable alternative to physico-chemical methods for remediation of contaminated environments through the utilization of symbiotic relationship between plants and their associated soil…
Nanotechnology has become a prominent technology in environmental remediation, especially in the purification of water and wastewater. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have the characteristics of extremely large specific surface area
Bio-based sorbents are preferred over chemical-based methods for the clean-up of crude oil spills in marine environments because bio-based sorbents are more environmentally friendly. This study evaluates the use of peat-derived biochar (PB) as a…
