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 …

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. …

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 …
