Abstract:

This dataset contains the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) over time under different redox conditions in an artificially contaminated Louisiana saline marsh soil. The dataset was generated in a laboratory incubation study. Oxidized condition (at Eh of 350 mV) and reduced condition (at Eh of -100 mV) were controlled and maintained through the inflow of air/N2 gas ratio into incubation jars. TPH was measured by GC/FID following extraction by DCM at each incubation time interval.

Purpose:

To determine how redox conditions affect oil hydrocabon degradation.

Data Parameters and Units:

Loss of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) under 350 and 150 mV; Incubation time (day), TPH (mg/kg)
