Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated waste using corn material

Hydrocarbonaceous contaminants are bioremediated using corn material, such as corn waste and corn oil. The hydrocarbonaceous contaminant is contacted with the corn material in the presence of nutrients and bacteria effective for bioremediation. The contaminant is typically on a solid substrate, admi...

Zusammenfassung:Hydrocarbonaceous contaminants are bioremediated using corn material, such as corn waste and corn oil. The hydrocarbonaceous contaminant is contacted with the corn material in the presence of nutrients and bacteria effective for bioremediation. The contaminant is typically on a solid substrate, admixed with particulate solids or on water. Corn oil is typically applied to large area spills on water, beaches, solid and rocky ground and the like by spraying, while solid corn material is typically used for all other applications and mixed in with the contaminant.
