Thin layer chromatography - flame ionization detection analysis of in-situ petroleum biodegradation (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)This research was initiated after a 100-year flood caused an oil spill on the San Jacinto River (Houston, Texas) in October of 1994. After the floodwaters subsided the released petroleum floating on the water was deposited ...
