  • Biological degradation of oil sludge : a review of the current state of development 
    Ubani, Onyedikachi; Atagana, H.I.; Thantsha, Mapitsi Silvester (Academic Journals, 2014-11-20)
    Oil sludge is a thick viscous mixture of sediments, water, oil and hydrocarbons, encountered during crude oil refining, cleaning of oil storage vessels and waste treatment. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which ...
  • Characterisation of oil degrading bacteria from tailored compost containing crude oil sludge 
    Ubani, Onyedikachi; Atagana, Harrison Ifeanyichukwu; Thantsha, Mapitsi Silvester; Adeleke, Rasheed (National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, 2016-04)
    In the present study, different bacteria with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading capabilities were isolated from compost prepared from oil sludge and animal manures. These bacteria were isolated on a mineral ...
  • Identification and characterisation of oil sludge degrading bacteria isolated from compost 
    Ubani, Onyedikachi; Atagana, Harrison Ifeanyichukwu; Thantsha, Mapitsi Silvester; Rasheed, Adeleke (De Gruyter Open, 2016)
    Compounds present in oil sludge such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to be cytotoxic, mutagenic and potentially carcinogenic. Microorganisms including bacteria and fungi have been reported to degrade ...
