Detailed explanation-1: -Bioremediation, which was used extensively in the Exxon Valdez spill, involved adding fertilizers containing nitrogen (N) nutrients to speed up the rates of oil biodegradation. Most petroleum hydrocarbons are highly insoluble in water. Hydrocarbon biodegradation takes place at the hydrocarbon–water interface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three methods were tried in the effort to clean up the spill: Burning. Mechanical Cleanup. Chemical Dispersants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Three main types of bioremediation used for petroleum spills include microbial remediation, phytoremediation, and mycoremediation.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a letter to Exxon, EPA provided information that would support the use of bioremediation as a cleanup technique for the Valdez oil spill.
Detailed explanation-5: -Using Oil Booms. Using Skimmers. Using Sorbents. Burning In-situ. Using Dispersants. Hot Water and High-Pressure Washing. Using Manual Labour. Bioremediation. Related Read: What is An Oil Spill Kit? More items •30-Apr-2021
