During the national lockdown imposed by the Government of Italy (from March 9th to May 18th 2020) to counter the Covid-19 pandemic, 24-h PM10 samples were collected at three sites in the Rome area (Central Italy), two urban (Sapienza and Via Saredo,…
Production allocation refers to the practice of quantifying proportions of extracted commingled hydrocarbons across various contributing sources. In this paper we tested a new geochemical technique of trace element production allocation by analyzing…
Petroleum systems are inherently complex, comprising multiple components and processes, which variably interact in space and time to form petroleum accumulations. Improved understanding of these complex systems requires a holistic approach of…
The hydrocarbon-source correlation in highly-mature and over-mature stages is a challenging task in natural gas exploration. The Ediacaran-Lower Cambrian natural gas in the central Sichuan Basin is typical oil-cracking gas. With a burial depth of…
Amongst the methods developed to clean-up contaminated soils, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)-assisted phytoremediation is an emerging eco-sustainable technique to control and manage soil pollution. AMF are known to improve growth and mineral…
Arsenic (As) is a toxic trace element with many sources, including hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, oil sands, and oil- and gas-bearing shales. Arsenic from these hydrocarbon sources can be released to the environment through human activities…
The occurrence of metals in crude oil and distillates may adversely affect oil processing, engines and turbines, plus contributing to environmental pollution, even at trace levels. Their detection is accordingly of the utmost relevance and several…
