Application of oxygen microbubbles for groundwater oxygenation to enhance biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil systems

Aerobic decomposition of hydrocarbon contaminants in anaerobic groundwater would be enhanced by oxygenating the water. This was done by injecting oxygen microbubbles in the soil matrix packed in a 7 ft by 7 ft by 5 inches in width Vertical Slice Test Cell, VSTC, and in a 30-inch column, also packed...
