Abstract:Bio sorption and biodegrading capacity as well as sorption of oil onto expanded perlites modified with oil-eating bacteria were studied. This investigation leveraged perlite as an oil absorbent, subsequently laden with oil-degrading micro-organisms, aiming to study not only oil spill absorption but also the eradication of oil spill. Findings from experiments with three different adsorbents - one devoid of microbes, one featuring perlite loaded with microbes, and one containing expanded perlite laden with micro… Show more
