| 摘要 |
This invention relates to biosorbents used for clean-up of petroleum-based contamination of water. The invention can be used for clean-up of natural and artificial water reservoirs, sewers, and liquid waste that is contaminated with petroleum and petroleum products. The invention absorbs petroleum-based contamination and degrades it using strains of bacteria, yeast, or a consortium thereof. The desired microbe stains are immobilized on a hydrophobic sorbent, which is placed on the surface of the water to be decontaminated. The biosorbent is allowed to sit on the water surface for a period of time to allow for microbial degradation of the petroleum. |
