Carbon Balance and Modelling of Oil Degradation in Soil Bioreactors

  • Chapter
Book cover Treatment of Contaminated Soil

Abstract

Biological treatment is a useful tool for mineral oil contaminations as they are easily biodegradable. Numerous publications about oil degradation are available and many remediations have been carried out. However, to date, there is little information about carbon mass balances and carbon turnover of oil in soil.
