Development of Biokinetic Model for Crude Oil Remediation using Neem-Water-Alcohol Root Extracts
Abstract: Model was developed to examine the degradation of crude oil in different soil environment using Neem roots extract subjected in fermentation for a period of one week. The Neem roots extract of 500g and 600g was used in carrying out the research work and both was extracted from fermented Neem roots in alcohol medium. The reaction mechanism was tested using first order rate constant with Neem treatment in both solvent …

Biokinetic Model of Crude Oil degradation: The Integration of Moringa-Alcohol-Water Root Extracts
Abstract: Mathematical model was developed to study the crude oil degradation on the effect of moringa-alcohol-water root extracts. In different soils environment of Niger Delta area of Nigeria. The mass of moringa in alcohol and water used for this research work is 500g and 600g. In all cases the decrease with increase in the period of exposure (Time) for remediation of the contaminated soil types studied for the first order rate …

Modeling the Biokinetic of Crude Oil Degradation inLoamy Soil Using the Citrus Sinensis of Flavedo Part
Abstract: The biokinetic parameters of crude oil degradation using Citrus sinensis of flavedo part was investigated in loamy soil environment. Mathematical models were developed for the purpose of determining the biokinetic parameters of the k1 (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon), maximum specific rate of TPH remediation and dissociation constant of the TPH remediation on the effect of remediant dosage on the polluted loamy soil environment. The effect of the remediants were monitored for …

Kinetic Model for Production of Carbon(iv)oxide (CO2) from Brewers Spent Grain Using Anaerobic Digester
Abstract: In this research paper, investigation studies were carried out to determine which model best predicts the amount of using the linear, power, growth rate decay, and non-elementary rate models, the kinetics of the biogas produced under the impact of biodegradation were explored. Carbon(iv)oxide was produced as a fraction of the biogas acquired from the experimental conditions. Either of the linear, power, growth rate decay, and non-elementary rate models can be …

Bio-stimulation with Fresh Avocado Seed for Crude Oil Remediation: Experimental and Bio-kinetic Modelling
Abstract: The remediation of crude oil-contaminated soils requires sustainable and cost-effective solutions. This study investigates the performance of fresh avocado seed (Persea americana) as a biostimulant for the remediation of Bonny Light crude oil-contaminated soil from the Kalarugbana community, Niger Delta. A 56-day laboratory-scale experiment was conducted using bioreactors containing 1 kg of soil contaminated with 100 ml of crude oil and treated with different volumes of fresh avocado seed slurry …

Computation of Biokinetic Parameters of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation using Vernonia amygdalina Stem
Abstract: This investigation showcases the computation of biokinetic parameters of total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation using Vernonia amygalina stem as bio-stimulant for the remediation of contaminants in loamy soil environment. The research revealed decrease in TPH degradation with increase in contact time and the percentage reduction was computed. The result shows TPH (100 dosage) > TPH (75g dosage) > TPH (50g dosage) > TPH (25g dosage) > TPH (control sample) and the …
