In the present era, environmental pollution are increasing manifolds due to various
anthropogenic activities. Organic pollutants are one of the biggest nuisances faced by the …

Microbial transformation of hydrocarbons to methane is an environmentally relevant process
taking place in a wide variety of electron acceptor-depleted habitats, from oil reservoirs and …

Hydrocarbon pollution is a worldwide problem. In this study, five surfactants containing SDS,
LAS, Brij 30, Tween 80 and biosurfactant were used to evaluate their effect on crude oil …

Biodegradation of crude oil in subsurface petroleum reservoirs has adversely impacted most
of the world's oil, converting this resource to heavier forms that are of lower quality and more …

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a method that utilises bacteria or bioproducts to
increase oil recovery at the tertiary stage. Clostridium sp. produces biosurfactant that alters …

Oil biodegradation studies using the powerful surfactant have mainly focused on saturated
hydrocarbons or parent aromatic hydrocarbons, but not specifically on the position or degree …

This work aimed to study the removal of phenanthrene, change of bacterial community and
microbial functions through combined photocatalysis and biodegradation under ultraviolet …

In upstream oil industry, microorganisms arise some opportunities and challenges. They can
increase oil recovery through microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) mechanisms, or they …

A new TOUGH2 module to simulate geological CO 2 storage (GCS) in saline aquifers is
developed based on the widely employed ECO2N module of TOUGH2. The newly …

A new TOUGHREACT module named CO2Bio is introduced to simulate geological carbon
storage (GCS) under biotic conditions. CO2Bio is developed by incorporating into …
