Soil matrix remediation chemistry: HersheyRecent Research Landscape

Hydrocarbon-contaminated soil matrices resist remediation due to low bioavailability and nutrient scarcity. These formulations engineer the interfacial tension and nutrient delivery to accelerate microbial degradation of petroleum fractions.

What technical problems is Hershey addressing in Soil matrix remediation chemistry?

Petroleum hydrocarbon persistence

(2)evidences

Natural degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons is too slow to prevent environmental damage. Accelerating this process reduces long-term soil toxicity and ecosystem disruption.
