“…Bodies of fresh water are generally less well buffered and exhibit wide ranges of pH, but as to the effect of these on oil biodegradation, systematic investigations have not been reported. In agricultural soils pH is often controlled by amendments, and the effect of pH on hydrocarbon biodegradation in soil has received some attention (Vanlooke et at., 1975;Verstraete et at., 1976;Dibble and Bartha, 1979b;Bartha, 1986). With the exception of calcareous and desert soils, most soils have a more or less acidic pH.…”

“…Mathematical equations were developed to describe the horizontal and vertical movement of oil on land (Raisbeck and Mohtadi, 1974;Somers, 1974;McKay and Mohtadi, 1975;Vanlooke et at., 1975;McGill et at., 1981) but were found to have only modest predictive value for the actual behavior of a spill. Low-viscosity hydrocarbon distillates (gasoline, kerosine, jet fuel, diesel oil, No.2 heating oil), i.e., most of the high-volume fuel products, infiltrate into soil rapidly and deeply, unless a very tight texture, water saturation, or frozen state of the soil prevent this.…”

“…Se pueden encontrar disolventes de hidrocarburos clorados (CHSs) como el Tricloroetileno (TCE), Tricloroetano y Triclorometano, Tetracloroetileno (PCT) y varios tipos de derivados de petróleo. Se reportaron varios incidentes de derrames de derivados de petróleo, en donde varios de estos contaminantes pueden disolverse en el AS, los contaminantes orgánicos son peligrosos para la salud de las personas y el medio ambiente (Schellekens, 1974;Schwille, 1975;Vanlooke et al, 1975;Kessler y Rubin, 1987;Schirmer y Butler, 2004). Debido a su amplio uso, movilidad y persistencia, los compuestos orgánicos volátiles clorados son considerados los de más alto riesgo de todos los contaminantes industriales (Ellis y Rivett, 2007).…”

“…At neutral pH, soil fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes all decompose hydrocarbons but only fungi are active in acid soils. 5 The soil's particle size distribution slightly influenced the propane removal rates.The amounts of organic matter and clay in the soil determine the soil's adsorption capacity for organic substances 11 and may affect the propane decomposition rate. This trend appears in the data of Table II but the differences were not statistically significant.…”

“…Soils biodegrade n-alkanes faster than branched and aromatic hydrocarbons. 5 Since the sorption capacity of soils for gases is relatively low, the feasibility of soil beds to scrub propane depends on the rate at which microbes decompose the propane and thereby regenerate the sorption capacity.…”
