Comparison of biodegradation kinetics of geometric isomers of naphthenic acids (NAs) in Athabasca River water
In view of the toxicity and prevalence of NAs in refinery wastewater from oil sands extraction, it is imperative that a better understanding of the factors affecting their persistence in aquatic environments be developed. This need is important since factors controlling possible selective degradatio...
