The southern coastal plain of Iran at the Persian Gulf encounters oil pollution due to the historical oil exploitation, related tanker navigations and accidents, and petrochemical industrial expansions in the recent years. Therefore, it is important to investigate the geochemical properties of oil-c

Research was conducted to investigate the possibility of upgrading low-quality lignites by mixing them with heavy crude oils. Three crude oil samples with API gravities of 12.9, 18.7 and 26.7 were mixed with lignite to form mixtures of 10 and 20% oil content. Thermal analysis experiments were conduc
Standard triaxial compression tests were carried out on an agricultural sandy loam soil to assess the effect of soil dry bulk density and moisture content on soil mechanical properties, namely, cohesion, internal friction angle, Young's modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio. Regression analyses
## Abstract A mixed culture of compatible hydrocarbonoclastic and diazotrophic bacteria, each at a density of 10^8^ organisms cm^β3^, was developed for optimised bioremediation of crude oilβcontaminated soil. The hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium, __Pseudomonas__ sp and the diazotroph, __Azotobacter vi
