“…Sufinol degraders were assessed in the SW using the MPN method described in the previous section. Total aerobic heterotrophic microorganisms were enumerated using the Tryptone Soy Broth (TSB) MPN method (Guerin, ). Light microscopy was also employed to determine the presence of microorganisms in the reactors at various stages during the trial.…”

A laboratory study was conducted to determine the feasibility of biotreatment of liquid Sulfinol waste stored at a gas treatment facility. Sulfinol is used to scrub impurities from gas generated from both traditional gas extraction and that from hydraulic fracturing processes. Chemical characterization and microbiological assessment showed that cultures of Sulfinol‐degrading microorganisms could be enriched from Sulfinol‐contaminated soil containing saturated concentrations of Sulfinol: a mixture of di‐isopropanolamine (DiPA), sulfolane, and oxazolidone. Based on this initial finding from the enrichment culture study, batch reactors were incubated with inoculants from enrichment cultures containing known numbers of presumptive Sulfinol‐degrading microorganisms. The microbial analyses of liquors from batch reactors showed microbial inhibition and/or loss of viability due to Sulfinol toxicity, even at the lowest Sufinol waste concentration used (5 percent of the original waste). The changes in concentrations of the chemicals in the batch reactor trials were a result of chemical rather than biodegradation processes. Further research is recommended to develop repeatable strategies for biodegrading the constituents of Sulfinol under field conditions.

“…Petroleum hydrocarbons are used through the entire mining and minerals production process and can generate impacts along the minerals processing value chain. Typically, the most recognized impacts of petroleum hydrocarbon usage are negative, often associated with pollution and with significant liabilities to all parties involved in handling them (Guerin, 2014a, 2015a, 2015c). These are described in Table 1.…”

Petroleum hydrocarbon suppliers affect a mine's goals for environmental performance because of the extensive reach of petroleum hydrocarbon products into the mining and minerals product life cycle, their impact on operational efficiencies, cost, and mine viability, and their potential for leaving negative environmental as well as safety legacies. The supplied petroleum hydrocarbon life cycle is a framework that enables structured engagement between supplier and customer on a range of environmental performance issues because it is an example of input into the mining industry that affects the entire mining and minerals processing value chain. Engagement with suppliers in a proactive manner can be a risk management strategy. Questions for businesses to ask in relation to suppliers and their role in minimizing business risks and creating new value are offered.
