Bacterial biodegradation of soluble crude oil hydrocarbons and the influence of protists in simulated arctic seawater and sea ice
… and natural gas, the potential for an Arctic oil spill is heightened, yet knowledge of contaminant fate and behavior is limited in this environment. With challenging conditions in the Arctic and limited equipment caches, response will be extremely difficult. In freezing conditions, oil may …

Characterisation and environmental effects of unresolved complex mixtures of hydrocarbons
The gas chromatograms of crude oil hydrocarbons reveal both resolved and unresolved components. The unresolved feature is commonly referred to as the unresolved complex mixture (UCM). UCMs are thought to result from the co-elution of complex mixtures of hydrocarbons with similar chemical properties …

Naphthenic Acids: Synthesis, Characterisation and Factors Influendng Environmental Fate
The sustained high price of crude oil is increasing the viability of producing oils and tarry bitumens which have high acid contents and which would have been uneconomical to produce previously. The acidity of these oils is due to the presence of a class of compounds known as Naphthenic Acids (NAs) …
