Hydrocarbon biodegradation in landfarming soils contained in containers

摘要

A pilot-scale test was performed, consisting on landfarming soils inoculation with different isolated bacteria strains of the same contaminated soil with hydrocarbons. The goal of the project was to determine which bacteria type and under what conditions the biggest degradation of hydrocarbons is gotten. Different nutrients concentrations were applied. All soils were maintained outdoors for 90 days. The biggest biodegradation rate obtained was 45
