Abstract
With the increased demand for petroleum and petroleum products from all parts of the society, environmental pollution caused by petroleum development and production processes is becoming increasingly serious. Soil pollution caused by petroleum seriously affects environmental quality in addition to human lives and productivity. At present, petroleum in soil is mainly degraded by biological methods. In their natural state, native bacteria in the soil spontaneously degrade petroleum pollutants that enter the soil; however, when the pollution levels increase, the degradation rates decrease, and it is necessary to add nutrients, dissolved oxygen, biosurfactants and other additives to improve the degradation ability of the native bacteria in the soil. The degradation process can also be enhanced by adding exogenous petroleum-degrading bacteria, microbial immobilization technologies, and microbial fuel cell technologies.
