Biodegradation of oily wastes and sludges

Improper disposal of petroleum hydrocarbons can cause hazardous effects to both the environment and life. Used and unused oils from several sources contribute to the problems of oil contamination in the environment. Physico-chemical treatment methods are not completely effective as the emission of s...
