BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: With technological advances, mining industries use
more crude oil and its products. Finding fast, effective, and eco-friendly repair techniques for …

Crude oil continues to impact many nations as it is among the major sources of fuel. Its role
in making life in modern societies comfortable cannot be overemphasized as it is readily …

One of the continuous environmental problems is hydrocarbon contamination caused by the
activity of the petroleum industry. Although many contaminated sites were successfully …

A combination of options including Biostimulation with agricultural fertilizers,
Bioaugumentation and physical processes were evaluated in-situ in the clean-up of crude …

Heavy hydrocarbons (HHCs) in soils impacted by crude oil spills are generally recalcitrant to
biodegradation due to their low bioavailability and complex chemical structure. In this study …

As we advance towards “a non-toxic environment”, there is increased action in the soil,
surface, and groundwater remediation activities in response to the world's environmental …

There is no doubt that several soil remediation methods have been applied in removing oil
contaminants in the soil. Selecting an appropriate method is critical for effective cleanup of a …

The current oil spill remediation strategies are costly and may be toxic to aquatic species
and clean-up workers. There is, therefore, the need to look for alternative oil spill …

Crude oil contamination of the environment has been an age-long phenomenon and a
serious subject of concern. The effect of oil on soil depends on the size, quantity and grade …

Crude oil utilization has improved our living standard, but it has also threatened the aquatic
and terrestrial environment with its harmful effects. It contains harmful substances such as …
