The research of hydrogeochemical mechanism of petroleum hydrocarbon in karst fissure groundwater system is important to predict the trend of petroleum hydrocarbons and the change of groundwater environment. We take the karst fissure water system as the research object, where there is a refinery. The variation of SO42-, HCO3-, NO3-, NO2-, HS- can be used as a hydrogeochemical sign of petroleum hydrocarbon pollution by analyzing the change of water quality parameters before and after karst fissure water contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbon. It has been also analyzed systematically that hydrogeochemical mechanism including desulfurization, denigration and ion exchange happen during the pollution process in the karst fissure water system. It is pointed out that the human activities have a great impact on the groundwater and changes of environment.

The study demonstrates bioremediation as an approach for petroleum hydrocarbon pollution and this pollution is major problem worldwide especially in developing countries like India. Microbial degradation of crude oil components is reported in various chapters, but novelty of this chapter is that the present scenario for oil spill management in India is also discussed in it along with use of microbes in the field of bioremediation, combination of this two is rarely found. This combination will help society to find out way for development of clean and sustainable environment. This chapter throws light on biodegradation as efficient, economic, and eco-friendly treatment. It is prepared for broader readership as language of this paper is very easy to understand. It is subject of many research investigations/thrust areas of research and real-world applications and forms the basis for emergent field of bioremediation.
