It is organometallic compounds and inorganic salts (metallic compounds). Mostly sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, vanadium, nickel are present either as inorganic salts, such as sodium and magnesium chlorides, or in the form of organometallic compounds, such as those of nickel and vanadium (as in porphyrins). It is harmful and corrosive and should be removed (Lewis and Sami, 1991). Figure 3.5 Isomers of asphlathenes (Retrieved from Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes, 2nd Edition, 2001)
2.4 Bioremediation
Bioremediation means to use biological organisms to solve an environmental problem such as contaminated soil or contaminated water. In other words it is a biological technology method for removing pollutants from the environment thus restoring the original natural …show more content…
Biostimulation of microorganisms by the addition of nutrients because the input of large quantities of carbon sources tends to result in a rapid depletion of the available pools of major inorganic nutrients such as N and P (Sang-Hwan et al.,2007). An example of this is the addition of fertilizer to an oil wastewater. Lastly, is the Phytoremediation which vegetation based remediation shows potential for accumulating, immobilizing, and transforming a low level of persistent contaminants. In natural ecosystems, plants act as filters and metabolize substances generated by nature. It is an emerging technology that uses plants to remove contaminants from soil and water. It’s potential for encouraging the biodegradation of organic contaminants requires further research, although it may be a promising area for the future (Truu et al.,
