Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K. MartinellDiesel fuel released into the environment can contaminate ground water, degrade potable water supplies and cause the collapse of fisheries. They are toxic to both animals and humans and can affect the liver, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system leading to cancer as well as immunological and reproductive effects. The objectives of this study were to review current Canadian regulations pertaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 8,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Residual Oils Recovered from Spent Bleaching Earth: Their Characteristics and ApplicationsLoh Soh Kheang, Cheng Sit Foon, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study described the extraction of residual oils of spent bleaching earth (SBE) from palm oil refining industry, the properties and applications of residual oils obtained there from. Residual oils of SBE (acid-activated, WAC and neutral, NC) were recovered via solvent and supercritical-fluid (SC-CO2) extraction. The yields of residual oils recovered from WAC were higher than those from NC using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 9,231 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of the Mass Transfer Process in Oil SpillFabián Betancourt, Arturo Palacio, Alejandro RodriguezA revision of the models used to study the behavior of the mass loss processes associated with petroleum spills on water and to compare those models with experimental data. The processes of mass transfer studied in this work are evaporating, dissolution, vertical dispersion, emulsification and the changes of properties associated with these.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Micromechanisms of Hydrogen Plastification and Embrittlement of Some Technological MaterialsYu. S. Nechaev, T. N. VezirogluSome fundamental problems of revealing micromechanisms of hydrogen plastification, superplasticity, embrittlement, cracking, blistering and delayed fracture of some technologically important industrial metallic materials are formulated. The ways are considered of these problems' solution and optimizing the technological processes and materials, particularly in the hydrogen and gas-petroleum industries, some aircraft, aerospace and automobile systems. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,864 accessesView PDF Cite
