MINERALIZATION OF CARBON DURING MOIST INCUBATION OF SOIL JF79 TREATED WITH ORGANIC HEAT-TRANSFER AND STORAGE FLUIDS

摘要

The degradation was monitored by periodically measuring the mineralization of carbon in moist fluid-contaminated soils incubated at 28° and 37°C for 8 weeks. Ethylene glycol mineralized relatively readily. The other three fluids did not show measurable amount of carbon mineralization during the experimental period. This implies potential long term environmental effects of Mismanaged or accidental releases of these fluids into natural environment.
