Biodegradation of cruide oil at sea surface is limited with nutrients concentration. The limiting factors of cruide oil biodegradation in natural seawater have responsed to the addition of the nitrogen and phosphorus.
Nutrients consisting of the ratio of 10 part ammonium chloride and 1 part of potassium phosphate were encapsuled with waxes (n-paraffin and bees wax as the wall materials).
We confirm the biodegradation is enhanced by the addition of microcapsules.
The amount of liquid transported after the infinite time expressed in terms of the improved microcapsule weight is about 14.2%. The diffusivity of the internal water is expressed in terms of the concentration of liquid by
The removed model oil by pseudomonas sp. was measured with different supply modes of microcapsules. 95% removal of the model oil (n-hexadecane) was observed in 10days.
