Development of Predictive Model on Corrosion of Metals in Swampy Soil Environment
Abstract: The research carried out to examine the usefulness of corrosion in metals in swampy soil. It also reveals the weight loss and corrosion rate in a metal. The following physicochemical parameters which include BOD, COD, pH and microbial activities were modelled. The extent of metal corrosion in swampy soil is dependent on many different and often interrelated factors, trying to predict what may happen to a specific object after wrecking …

Evaluations of Treatment Performance of Tangerine and Cashew Leaves in TPH Removal from Contaminated Swampy and Clay Soils
Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of two plant-based treatments, Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) and Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) leaves, in the bioremediation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) from polluted swampy soil. The performance of these treatments was assessed over an 84-day period using 100g of each treatment. The results demonstrated significant degradation of TPH, with Tangerine leaf showing a slight edge over Cashew leaf in the remediation process of crude oil- contaminated …

Evaluation of Treatment Performance in TPH Removal from Soil: A Comparative Study of Baobab and Neem Treatments
Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of Baobab (Adansonia) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) in powdered form, combined with yeast and NPK fertilizer, for the bioremediation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in polluted swampy and clay soils. Over an 84-day period, both treatments significantly enhanced TPH degradation, with Neem showing slightly better performance overall. In swampy soil, TPH removal ranged from 97.78% (Baobab) to 98.50% (Neem), while in clay soil, it ranged …

Effect of Elephant Grass for the Remediation of Contaminated Swampy and Clay Soils Environment
Abstract: The research on the effect of Elephant grass and effectiveness to enhance remediation of crude oil polluted soil environment was studied. The experiment carried out in order to ascertain the performance of the locally sourced braw material for remediation of the contaminated soil. The physiochemical parameters of the contaminants such as crude oil, as well as the elephant grass in powdered form, swampy and clay soils were determined in terms …

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 …

TPH Degradation through Bioremediation Using Organic Amendments
Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of bioremediation in crude oil-contaminated soils from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, an area that has long suffered environmental degradation due to recurrent petroleum exploration and oil spills. The research emphasizes the degradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in two distinct soil types – swampy and clay soils – while assessing the influence of various organic and inorganic amendments. Organic amendments, specifically Moringa seed …

Influence of Treatment on Soil Potassium: A Comparative Study Using Mango Leaf and Bitter Leaf
Abstract: This research investigates the influence of two organic amendments, Mango leaf and Bitter leaf, on the potassium content in swampy and clay soils. Potassium plays a crucial role in supporting microbial activity during bioremediation, making it an essential nutrient in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments. The study explores the temporal variation in potassium concentrations in soils treated with powdered Mango leaves, Bitter leaves, yeast, and NPK fertilizer over a period of 84 days. …
