Evaluation of Kinetic Parameters of Crude Oil Remediation Using Bio-Stimuant of Mint Leaf (Mentha piperita)
Abstract: Kinetic parameters of crude oil degradation as related to total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) were evaluated. The experiment was set-up using crude oil, loamy soil polluted and addition of bio-stimulant (nutrient based substance). The depletion of the pollutant was monitored within the contact time of 7 to 35 days. At intervals of 7 days samples were collected and analyzed to determine the TPH concentration at each bioreactor set-up, through subjecting the …

Monitoring of the Physicochemical Properties of Some Important Parameters That Induce Metal Corrosion in Water Medium
Abstract: This investigation addresses the effect of freshwater quality on metal corrosion in Choba river located in Obio/Akpo Local Government Area of Rivers State of Nigeria. The research involves the use of four different metal coupons namely Carbon Steel (CBS-D), Mild Steel (MS-B), Stainless Steel (SST-C), and Copper Steel (CPS-A). The different metal coupons were immersed in the freshwater medium and the freshwater medium is contaminated with industrial activities. The rate …

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 …
