2019, Hydrocarbon Pollution and its Effect on the Environment

Abstract

Hydrocarbon contamination is of great worry because of their widespread effect on all forms of life. Pollution caused by increasing the use of crude oil is ordinary because of its extensive application and its related transport and dumping problems. Crude oil contains a complex mixture of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds. Soil naturally consists of heavy metals, and due to human action like refining of oil and use of pesticides, their concentration in soil is rising. Several areas have such high heavy metal and metalloid concentration that surrounding natural ecosystem has been badly affected. The reason is that heavy metals and metalloids limit microbe's activity rendering it unsuitable for hydrocarbon degradation, thus reducing its effectiveness. Environmental remediation is thus extremely necessary and involves with the elimination of pollutants from soil, air, and water. In the last several decades, different methods have been employed and applied for the cleanup of our environment which includes mechanical, chemical, and biochemical remediation methods. The hydrocarbon pollution consists of many aspects like oil spills, fossil fuels, organic pollutants like aromatics, etc. that are discussed below.

Aminu Yusuf Fardami

Ismail, H. Y., Grema, M. N., Isa, M. A., Allamin, I. A., Bukar, U. A., Adamu, A. and Fardami, A. Y. , 2022

Petroleum hydrocarbons are among the major driving forces of advancement in the last Century. Some of the hydrocarbons are however of health and environmental significance, due to their recalcitrance and persistence leading to adverse effects on health and ecosystem stability. Environmental pollution with petroleum and petrochemical products has been recognized as a significant and serious problem. Most components of oil are toxic to humans and wildlife in general, as it is easily incorporated into the food chain. This fact has increased scientific interest in examining the distribution, fate and behaviour of oil and its derivatives in the environment. The potential danger which petroleum hydrocarbons pose to humans and the environment makes testing and treatment unavoidable. As a result, a number of investigations over several years have led to the discovery of treatment technologies including physical, chemical, thermal and biological processes. Attempts to present a concise review on the status of hydrocarbon contamination, its effects on microorganisms, plants, animals and the ecosystem have been made. Different treatment technologies with their advantages and setbacks are also presented. This would enlighten individuals and stakeholders on the dangers pose by the petroleum products especially that oil prospecting in the Northeastern Nigeria is been intensified Keywords: Bioremediation, Contamination, Hydrocarbons, Petroleum Phytoremediation

Remediation technologies for oil contaminated soil
Todd Johnson

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management, 2021

Crude oil continues to impact many nations as it is among the major sources of fuel. Its role in making life in modern societies comfortable cannot be overemphasized as it is readily available and easy to use. Contamination resulting from its use in industries such as mining, transportation and petroleum especially soil contamination cannot be overlooked. Soil pollution resulting from oil contamination can be seen as being among the twenty-first-century vulnerabilities because if not well taken care of the consequences can be devastating. Soil contamination is of interest in most societies because it affects both the environment and humans. This review highlights common sources of soil pollution and their effects, oil waste disposal methods, soil remediation techniques that are well established and those still in their infancy. Such techniques include bioremediation such as phytoremediation and landfarming, where percent removal of contaminated soils was reported from 68% to 89 % i...

The Surveying of Soil and Groundwater Pollution in a Petroleum Refinery and the Potential of Bioremediation for Oil Decontamination
Bahram Taheri

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2013

Soil contamination with crude oil is an important worldwide issue and the remediation of oil contaminated soils, sediments and groundwater is a major environmental challenge. In the target area of this survey, which is a petroleum refinery near Tehran, soil and groundwater pollution, and its source, contaminated area, and distribution of pollution were studied by means of different measurements. Oil content and volatile organic compounds were measured to determine soil and groundwater contamination. The investigations showed that the contamination of soil which is mainly silt and clay has reached to the groundwater which is around 20 m underground and formed an oily layer mainly containing gasoline, kerosene, and gas oil with different thicknesses in the whole area. The free oil existing over the groundwater table could be removed by physical ways such as pump and treat method but decontamination of soil is more complex. Due to long-lasting contamination of the field, the existence of accumulated indigenous microorganisms and the probable ability of them to effectively biodegrade pollutants by man-assisted interventions are expected. In this survey in order to clarify the contamination problem, some experiments have been done on the region soil and groundwater. Besides, the feasibility assessment of bioremediation in the investigated area is performed.

Clean up of Crude Oil-Contaminated Soil
Global Science Books

Crude oil contamination of the environment has been an age-long phenomenon and a serious subject of concern. The effect of oil on soil depends on the size, quantity and grade of oil spilled. Crude oil contamination does not damage the soil permanently but has some adverse effects on crops and other vegetation. Over the years attempts have been made to find the cheapest, most efficient and environmentally-friendly method for the clean-up crude oil contaminated soil. This review is aimed at analysing the different methods used in the clean-up of contaminated soil. Crude oil contaminated soil can be cleaned up using physico-chemical, thermal and biological treatments. The first two methods have been found to be grossly inadequate and ineffective, and may result in further contamination. Biological methods (bioremediation and phytoremediation) have received considerable attention during the last few years as the most promising and environmentally benign technique for effective clean-up of crude oil contaminated soil. A wide range of bioremediation strategies is being developed to treat contaminated soil.

Introduction of Petroleum Hydrocarbons Contaminants and its Human Effects
Fortune Journals

The aim of this study is to introduce soil contamination as a serious worldwide problem. Soil contamination is caused mainly by the leakage of underground storage tanks and pipes. The most common conventional method for the remediation of contaminated soils is excavation followed by landfilling or incineration and other technologies that have been widely practiced. Contaminated sites pose a threat to human life due to severe health problems caused by adverse health effects from exposure to oil-soil contamination. Once it is being detected, assessment strategies, type of sampling, chemical analyses, evaluation of parameters and its effect must be done. Several technologies and parameters have been developed to treat petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil but the problem still exists.

CRUDE OIL CONTAMINATED SOILS' ACTUAL ECOLOGICAL RECULTIVATION WAYS
Ulviyya Mammadova

Processes of Petrochemistry and Oil Refining, 2021

Recultivation ways of oily soils were looked through to determine the proper ways for realization. The soils possessing rich paraffin (methane, ethane, octane), Naphthenes (Benzene, Toulene, Xylene), Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (Naphthalene, Anthracene, Benzopyene) is to be recultivated by both thermal or chemical ways. The second method is much more acceptable in comparison with the first one. Because thermal way destroy wholly soil biota which leads the greatest problems to be solved again. In the paper chemical and biological ways were presented to protect the microorganisms such as; bacteria, fungi, algae and so on. At the same time soil fauna including protozoa, nematodes, mites, springtails, spiders, insects, and earthworms may be saved by this way. Almost soil flora living in it should be guarded for the next step. To the content of the crude oil contamination soils' recultivation, the initial showings have been taken into consideration. Bacterial generation for all types and pollution sources has been developed for the remediation. For the polluted soils containing the paraffins for bacterial generation begins with planting of Flavobacchain, Gordonia, Nocardia, Ochrobactrum, Pseudomonas, Sinorhizobium into the soil. But for the wasted soils having Naphthenes in its contain Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Microbacterium, Pseudomonas must be planted. If the crude oil contaminated soil has a plenty of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in this case certainly Advenella,

"Hydrocarbon contamination in the environment is a very serious problem whether it comes from petroleum, pesticides or other toxic organic matter. Environmental pollution caused by petroleum is of great concern because petroleum hydrocarbons are toxic to all forms of life. Environmental contamination by crude oil is relatively common because of its widespread use and its associated disposal operations and accidental spills........ Heavy metals are naturally present in soils; however due to human activity, the concentration of heavy metals in soil is increasing. Some areas contain such a high concentrations of heavy metals and metalloids that they are affecting the natural ecosystem. It has been observed that hydrocarbon contaminated sites co-contaminated with heavy........."

Petroleum Pollution as a Predicament to Soil and Water Resources
Farshad Fathian

Industrial energy demand is supplied from various sources, the most important and prevalent of which are petroleum resources. Although it is not possible to neglect the vast span of petroleum's role in keeping the wheels of industry turning and its pivotal role in leading a comfortable life for human beings, finding optimum and controlled methods in order to deal with environmental issues associated with the activities of petroleum industry has been a universal controversy for several decades. This paper aims to review the problem around the world in researchers' views, as well as assessing a comprehensive review on the gathered data of the all available remedies which are experimented on the contaminated soil and water resources. Biological remediation, which has been evaluated in this study, is one of the solutions considered effective in removing soil and water contamination. Furthermore, Tehran oil refinery as one of the most important sources of pollution in the capital of Iran, a country with considerable amount of petroleum resources, draws researchers' attentions. Thus, the paper has reviewed the studies done in the surrounded area of the refinery as well. This zone is critical as it is included of lands with various kinds of landuse. Moreover, contaminated soil and water resources of this area are utilized in agriculture and household consumptions and, directly or indirectly, all living organisms in the vicinity of this zone are threatened by its contamination.

BIOREMEDIATION OF SOIL POLLUTED WITH CRUDE OIL
Ifeoma B Enweani

Nigeria has suffered a number of times the problem of crude oil spillage. The issue of bioremediation needs to be addressed to save the environment from avoidable pollutants. Certain hydrocarbons which make up crude oil can be degraded by microbes. Soil samples polluted with crude oil were used for this study. The polluted soil samples were also enriched with poultry dropping and cow dungs. The Gas chromatography was used to monitor the arte of biodrgeadation of aliphatic and poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. It was observed that the additional nutrient enhanced the rate of microbial growth and biodegradation
