Biodegradation and chemical characterization of petroleum diesel hydrocarbons in seawater at low temperatures
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2010;, Master thesis, 2010-06)Petroleum hydrocarbons are a major source of marine contamination. Biodegradation, which is fundamental for the natural attenuation of these hydrocarbons in nature, involves mineralization or transformation of organic ... -
Pressure effect on biodegradation of hydrocarbons: Naphthalene and BTEX
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2011;, Master thesis, 2011)Oil and gas are the most important energy resources in the global economy today. Even though there is a growing concern for global heating, no real alternatives have been found. Current political disturbances in the Arab ... -
Temperature dependence of naphthalene biodegradation in seawater (0.5-15ºC)
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2009, Master thesis, 2009)The polar areas are very vulnerable to exposure to contaminants. An oil spill in polar areas could be a disaster to large areas. The recovery from contamination takes longer time in arctic areas than in more temperate areas ... -
The effect of the dispersant Corexit 9500 on the biodegradation of diesel fuel at low temperatures
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2015;, Master thesis, 2015-06-15)Crude oil and different petroleum products are marine polluters and have become an important environmental issue in the last century. Hydrocarbons are inherently present in the oceans due to natural seeps, but the main ... -
The effect of the dispersant Corexit 9500 on the biodegradation of North Sea crude oil at low temperatures
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2013;, Master thesis, 2013)Constituents from crude oil and petroleum are major sources of marine pollution and despite the natural presence of crude oil hydrocarbons in the marine environment; anthropogenic activity is ...
