Biodegradation of fluoranthene and benzoaPyrene related to micro-aggregation of soil

摘要

A batch experiment was carried out with three different soils to determine the influence of micro-aggregation on the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Two PAHs (fluoranthene (225 mg/kg); benzo[a]pyrene (40 mg/kg)) were added to these soils and subject to aerobic degradation for 112 days. Over this period fluoranthene decomposed on average to 3
