Developing the scientific basis for new technologies for clean-up of natural and man-made ecosystems from pollution by oil and oil products using microorganisms capacity
The possibility of intensification of biodegradation of oil refinery sludge is analyzed. It is shown that the introduction of microbial strains with high hydrocarbon oxidizing activity can speed up the oxidation of sludge of 4-5 times. The effect of acetate, humic acids, nutrients (N, P), meliorants, humidity and Fenton's reagent on the activation of microbial oxidation of oil refinery sludge is studied.
