Hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria are ubiquitous in marine environments. Some bacterial species are highly specialized to degrade hydrocarbons and are called hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria 1, such as ...
The solubility of water in alkanes found in crude oil as a function of temperature has been calculated. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for solubility of water in crude oil that ...
Normal alkanes C n H 2n+2 are extended linear chain molecules that form ordered lamellar structures and crystals. When the size of the chains reaches n > 120, such ultra-long alkanes manifest chain ...
