“…A wide array of processes, including diesel and petrol leaks, marine oil, gas exploration, oil spills, combustions of fossil fuels, and even nature itself, deposit aliphatic hydrocarbons to the ecosystem. Alkanes (n-alkanes), cycloalkanes, alkenes, and alkynes group are referred to as four main classes of aliphatic hydrocarbons [41]. In Khark Island, Iran, the potential sources and ecotoxicological risks of 26 aliphatic hydrocarbons have been studied.…”

Oil pollution can cause tremendous harm and risk to the water ecosystem and organisms due to the relatively recalcitrant hydrocarbon compounds. The current chemical method used to treat the ecosystem polluted with diesel is incompetent and expensive for a large-scale treatment. Thus, bioremediation technique seems urgent and requires more attention to solve the existing environmental problems. Biological agents, including microorganisms, carry out the biodegradation process where organic pollutants are mineralized into water, carbon dioxide, and less toxic compounds. Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are ubiquitous in the nature and often exploited for their specialty to bioremediate the oil-polluted area. The capability of these bacteria to utilize hydrocarbon compounds as a carbon source is the main reason behind their species exploitation. Recently, microbial remediation by halophilic bacteria has received many positive feedbacks as an efficient pollutant degrader. These halophilic bacteria are also considered as suitable candidates for bioremediation in hypersaline environments. However, only a few microbial species have been isolated with limited available information on the biodegradation of organic pollutants by halophilic bacteria. The fundamental aspect for successful bioremediation includes selecting appropriate microbes with a high capability of pollutant degradation. Therefore, high salinity bacteria are remarkable microbes for diesel degradation. This paper provides an updated overview of diesel hydrocarbon degradation, the effects of oil spills on the environment and living organisms, and the potential role of high salinity bacteria to decontaminate the organic pollutants in the water environment.

“…The second category encompasses the studies of Madhukar et al [ 19 ], Fan et al [ 20 ], Gao et al [ 21 , 22 ], Wang et al [ 23 ] or Babaie et al [ 24 ], that analysed both the strategy in which the exhaust gas flowed through the NTP reactor and it got exposed to the electrical discharge plasma―known as direct plasma processing―and the approach of injecting plasma-ozone inside the exhaust line―known as indirect plasma processing―. It was proven that indirect plasma processing had a good performance in converting NO x and resulted in a more HC reduction and conversion as compared to that with direct plasma method.…”

“…The characteristic features of plasma are its ionization degree and high electrical conductivity. NTP at atmospheric pressure is successfully used for gas cleaning (e.g., decomposition of volatile organic compounds), surface treatment of materials, enhancing of chemical reactions, biological applications (e.g., sterilization process), and in plasma medicine (e.g., wound healing, cancer therapy) [29][30][31][32].…”

An essential aspect of wastewater treatment systems based on membranes is fouling, which leads to a decrease in their performance and durability. The membrane biofouling is directly related to the deposition of biological particles (e.g., microorganisms in the form of biofilm) on the membrane surface. The objective of the study was to investigate the possibility of using nonthermal plasma for membrane treatment to overcome the biofouling problem. The removal of biological cells from the membrane surface was performed in a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. The biofoulant (i.e., activated sludge) on the surface of membranes was treated with plasma for 3–10 min, corresponding to a plasma dose of 13–42 J cm−2. Results of biofouling removal studies indicated that the process was very efficient (i.e., lethal effect was also observed) and dependent on the type of membrane and exposure time to the nonthermal plasma. Moreover, investigations of the influence of plasma treatment on extracellular polymeric substances of biofilms have confirmed the possibility of using plasma in the process of protein release from biological structures, which results in their destruction. It seems that plasma technologies can be part of the so-called hybrid methods of removing biological contamination of membranes used in wastewater treatment.
