Dataset for "Assessment of Cyclodextrin-Enhanced Extraction of Deepwater Horizon Oil from Contaminated Porous Media"

Dataset to support the enhancement effects of cyclodextrin (CD) on the extraction of Macondo well oil (MC252) from contaminated porous media. Dataset was generated from a series of laboratory experiments using CD solutions of varying concentrations with media inoculated with MC252 oil. Samples were extracted and analyzed by GC/MS to determine the concentrations of targeted alkanes and PAHs after treatment. Mass fractions of alkanes and PAHs were also calculated, along with partitioning coefficients and extraction enhancement factors. The goal of the experiment was to assess the feasibility of using CD as a near-shore oil cleanup agent.
