Beschreibung
In this book international experts discuss the state-of-the-art in the biological degradation of hydrocarbons to meet remedial or disposal goals. The work focuses on practical applications, often on globally important scales including the remediation of some of the world’s largest crude oil spills. Other related chapters discuss important implications of microbial transformation of hydrocarbons, including treatment of high fat processing wastes, impacts of microbial biodegradation activity on industrial processes, and the implications of microbial oil degradation in relation to modern oil extraction processes like hydraulic fracturing of shales and extraction of oil sands.
International experts discuss the state-of-the-art in the treatment and remediation of oil spills and groundwater pollution and other practical real-world applications of the ability of microorganisms to biodegrade hydrocarbons A state-of-the-art review of practical approaches for utilizing microorganisms for treating and remediating hydrocarbons, including the treatment of some of the world’s largest crude oil spills. A comprehensive treaties on the practical applications of microorganisms for treating hydrocarbon wastes and pollution, and a discussion of the implication of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria on real-world industrial processes
