| Abstract |
Gasification of coal and crude oil was extensively used in the United States to produce medium to high heating value gas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) are components of coal tar wastes and other wastes that remain at many of these town gas sites. The Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) has been developing several techniques to improve biodegradation of town gas plant wastes such as multi-ring PAH's. These techniques include the use of bioemulsifiers, chemical oxidants or biologically produced chemicals, PAH-degrading IGT aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures developed through enrichment techniques, methane utilizing organisms (methanotrophs), fungi, and appropriate cometabolic and/or enzyme-inducing substrates. |
