The current poor predictability of end points associated with the bioremediation of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a large limitation when evaluating its viability for treating …

Microbial consortia isolated from aged oil-contaminated soil were used to degrade 16
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (15.72 mgkg− 1) in soil and slurry phases. The three …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the transformation and fate of
contaminants in soils, as controlled by both the properties of the soil and the nature and type …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), may
be found in high concentrations in soils of former industrial sites including manufactured gas …

The application of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant for enhanced solubilization and
biodegradation of slowly desorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in …

Surfactants are used to enhance the bioavailability of recalcitrant residual petroleum
contamination during bioremediation. However, surfactants in some cases inhibit …

Carbonaceous sorbents including black carbon (BC) and carbon nanotubes have attracted
research attention around the world because of their effects on bioavailability of hydrophobic …

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant on
biodegradation of 14C-labeled phenanthrene and pyrene under desorption-limiting …

There is a strong need for certified reference materials in the quality assurance of nonionic
soil contaminant bioavailability estimations through physicochemical methods. We applied …

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Brij 35 on biodegradation of slowly desorbing
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was determined in contaminated soils. We …
