Effect of ethanol and biodiesel addition on the movement and biodegradation of volatile petroleum hydrocarbons in the subsurface

The microbial degradation of typical volatile petroleum hydrocarbons in an aerobic sandy soil was studied with and without the blending of 10 percent ethanol (E10) or 20 percent biodiesel (B20) in batch microcosms and minilysimeters. In the head-space of the mini-lysimeters all volatile compounds re...
