“…For remediation of oil spill tar balls pollution, a variety of advanced clean-up technologies have been applied. Special abrasive paper can be used to clean up the oil spill (Shi et al, 2015), and the oil can be collected by oil skimmers or simply be burnt off (Song et al, 2014). Chemical sorbents and dispersants are also common methods for treating spilled oil (Lim et al, 2016).…”

Marine oil spill pollution is an important environmental problem in the world, especially crude oil-soaked marine sediments, because they are difficult to be remediated. In this study, in situ bioremediation of oil-soaked sediment was performed in the middle of the Bohai Sea. Oil-degrading bacteria were adsorbed on powdery zeolite (PZ)/granular zeolites (GZ) surfaces and then wrapped with poly-γ glutamic acid (γ-PGA). Settling column and wave flume experiments were conducted to model marine conditions and to select appropriate biological reagents. The optimal conditions were as follows: the average diameter of GZ 3 mm, mass ratio of GZ/PZ 2:1, and concentration of γ-PGA 7%. After bioremediation, over 50% of most oil-spilled pollutants n-alkanes (C to C) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were degraded in 70 days. This work resulted in a successful trial of in situ bioremediation of oil-soaked marine sediments.
