О самоочищении моря от тяжелых нефтяных фракций - (:unkn) unknown (My University, 1981)
On Sea Self-Purification from Heavy Oil Fractions
Wax-like excrescences gathered from the tanker bulkhead (after ballast pouring off) were divided on columns into resins and asphaltenes which were put into flasks with running sea water, sea water without running and the Dianova-Voroshilova mineral medium. In two latter cases oil-oxidating microorganism culture was added to flasks. The experiment lasted for 180 days. Each month carbon, hydrogen and sulphur content in samples was determined, and changes were fixed by infrared spectroscopy. It is determined that the main changes in resins and asphaltenes occur due to the microorganism activity.
