“…Ароматичні сполуки вперше знайшли практичне використання у хімічній промисловості в 50-х роках XX ст. [60,61]. Враховуючи пластичність, адгезивність, виражені діелектричні властивості, стійкість до дії хімічних і фізичних чинників, вони одразу ж стали незамінними у нафтопереробній, коксохімічній, фармацевтичній, будівельній, деревообробній галузі та сільськогосподарському секторі.…”

The minimization, treatment and disposal of drilling wastes especially oily wastes are important environmental issues. In this research two fungal isolates named Pleurotus ostreatus and Trichoderma harzianum were chosen carefully f or the purpose of biotreatment of oily drilled cuttings which resulting from drilling oil wells using oil based muds (OBMs). A relationship of total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation in oily drilled cuttings with time has been obtained. The results showed that Pleurotus ostreatus and Trichoderma harzianum can be considered hydrocarbon degrading microorganisms and the used biotreatment is cost effective process since most of the materials used in the cultivation and growth of the present fungi were available and cheap agricultural wastes. The best hydrocarbon degradation was observed in case of using both fungi together with 5 % by weight microorganisms concentration ratio (MCR) and with the same ratio of nufrients expressed as CIN/P equal to 100150110 nutrients components ratio which gave average total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation of about 205 ppm per day.

“…Within 24-48 h, a very large population of microorganisms will be active in the water. These bacteria come from cotton field soil and feed on the many carbohydrates in the cotton gin trash (ZoBell, 2005). Bacillus, a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-pathogenic and endospore-forming aerobic bacterium found in soil and rotting plant material, has been reported to have hydrocarbon emulsification capacity.…”

This study was conducted to establish optimal temperature, pH and incubation time for bacteria from gin trash, for enhancing wax removal during cotton bioscouring. Universal Rotatable Experimental Design was used for the process of optimisation and efficiency assessed by the percentage weight loss after solvent extraction of the treated fibres. Optimum wax of 0.765% out of 1.2% present in the fibres was removed at 45°C, pH 8 within 1 h. Minitab 15 and Monte Carlos were used for the parameter modelling and sensitivity analysis. A second-order polynomial regression model was fitted and found adequate with a determination coefficient, R 2 , of 0.94032 (p < 0.005). At 45°C, pH 8, maximum 0.747% wax was removed by the bacteria in pectinase treatment within 1 h. 0.752% wax was removed from bulkier treated fibres, without significant change in fibre strength. Temperature was found to be the most significant variable in the bacterial cotton wax removal.
