Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this work is to study the biodegradation of Jet Fuel A1 (Jet Al). The samples were recovered from a polluted ground. The first step was to characterize all remaining compounds by gas chromatography/flame ionized detection (GC/FID). The lineal hydrocarbons detected were split from nonane to tetradecane. The branched hydrocarbons found were mono-, di- and trimethyl alkanes. Degradation of Jet A1 was carried out by the local ground microorganisms and also in the laboratory by using a trade product called Putidoil. Several degradation accelerators were employed. In most samples, degradation levels were up to 90%.
