Biodegradation is a key process for the remediation of sites contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs), but this process is not well known for the (semi)-Arid coastal environments where saline conditions and continuous ...

The deposition and consequent release of colloids pose a significant challenge to the environment, groundwater quality and human health. Subsurface soil contains numerous types of colloids that exhibit a diverse range of ...

CH4-CO2 replacement method has the advantages of sequestering carbon dioxide and sediment stability compared to other methods such as depressurization and thermal stimulation. However, the production efficiency using CH4-CO2 ...

The migration of fine particles in porous media has been studied for different applications, including gas production from hydrate-bearing sediments. The clogging behavior of fine particles is affected by fine particle-pore ...

Engineered sulfate application has been proposed as an effective remedy to enhance the rate-limited biodegradation of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated subsurface environments, but the effects of dissolved organic phase ...

Electrochemically active anodic biofilm that has adapted under mild applied potentials in the range 100-500 mV was evaluated for its improved bioelectrogenesis and bioelectrochemical treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater ...

Pollutants present in produced water (PW) are recalcitrant in nature and difficult to treat with simple processes. Energetically sustainable and novel approach was developed by integrating electrochemical cell (EC, Primary ...

A better understanding of the kinetics of hydrate dissociation is essential to reliably predict gas production potential from natural hydrate reservoirs. Most hydrate dissociation models assume hydrates to be a constant ...

The impact of readily biodegradable substrates (sewage and acetate) in bioelectroremediation of hydrocarbons (PW) was evaluated in a bench-scale soil-based hybrid bioelectrochemical system. Addition of bioelectro-stimulants ...

Tortuosity has a significantimpact on flow and transport characteristics of porous media and plays a major role in many applications such as enhanced oil recovery, contaminant transport in aquifers, and fuel cells. Most ...
