Empirical Modelling of Metal Corrosion in Loamy Soil and Saltwater Environment
Abstract: The corrosion rate of metal in loamy soil and saltwater environment was monitored, predicted, and simulated using empirical modeling. The metal under investigation is carbon steel, which is found in a loamy soil and saltwater environments. The carbon steel sample immersed in a saltwater medium exhibited a higher corrosion rate compared to the loamy soil sample. The rise in corrosion of carbon steel can be attributed to the physiochemical characteristics …

Evaluating Remedy of Oil Polluted Environment Using Fermented Cassava Liquid
Abstract: A 28-day experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of fermented cassava liquid in the bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated soils. Three soil types, namely clay, sandy-loamy, and swampy soils, were examined. Cassava liquid was fermented for six days to allow sufficient microbial growth before being introduced into the contaminated soil samples. Uninoculated contaminated soil served as the control. Soil samples were collected at one-week intervals throughout the study for …

Effect of Environmental Parameters on Metal Corrosion in Soil Using Finite Element Method
Abstract: Deterioration of buried metal due to corrosive soil environment is a major issue worldwide. Although failure of buried metal due to corrosive soil is an old problem, yet such failures are still uncontrollable even with the application of advanced corrosion protection technologies. Therefore, understanding environmental parameters causing corrosion of buried metals are necessary. This research work reviews environmental parameters causing corrosion of buried metal in soils. These functional parameters include: …
