Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)Elif Semen, Salim HizirogluEastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Range-grown eastern redcedar has a poor quality. However, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Evaporation in Degrading the "Oil Lakes"Al Rashed Ahamad, Colin BarkerProblem statement: Oil Spills are degraded by aerobic bacteria, water washing, evaporation and oxidation. In the absence of water the first two of these processes cannot operate. This is the situation in the low rainfall environment of the Kuwaiti desert where oil lakes still persist 20 years after the initial spills. The oils contain longer chain n-alkanes but have lost … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 6,747 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
