Microbial degradation of oil spills enhanced by a slow-release fertilizer.

摘要: The improved cleanup of marine oil spills by stimulating biodegradation through the use a slow-release fertilizer is reported. A paraffin-supported containing MgNH4PO4 as active ingredient was developed and evaluated in laboratory field experiments using quantitative infrared spectrometry chromatographic techniques. Sarir crude sea considerably enhanced fertilizer. After 21 days 63% had disappeared compared to 40% control area.
