Stabilisation of Engine Oil Contaminated Soil Using Cement Kiln Dust
The utilisation of industrial bi-products such as cement kiln dust (CKD) is of increasing importance as an option for stabilising contaminated sites due to its pozzolanic nature and also in view of minimising the environmental impact. The experimental programme was carried out in the present study to evaluate the efficacy of CKD as stabilising agent at different percentages 2%, 6%, and 14% (w/w...
متن کاملEnhanced Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Contaminated Soil
Soil samples taken from a contaminated site in Northern Quebec, Canada, exhibited a low capacity for biodegradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), despite a high capacity for the mineralization of aromatic hydrocarbons and a low toxicity of soil leachates as measured by Microtox assay. Toxicity assays directly performed on surface soil, including earthworm mortality and barley seedling ...
متن کاملAmelioration of Spent Oil Contaminated Ultisol with Organic Wastes and its Effect on Soil Properties and Maize (Zea mays L) Yield
Contamination of soil with toxic substances can degrade its capacity to grow plants. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) experiment was set up in 2005 and 2006 to evaluate the effect of organic wastes on the physical properties and maize (Zea mays L) yield of spent oil contaminated (SOC) ultisol in Abakaliki South eastern Nigeria. The wastes comprising poultry droppings (PD) and Rice husk...
متن کاملBioavailability and bioremediation of diesel fuel-contaminated soil using organic wastes as supplement
Soil and surface water contamination by organic compounds is a common occurrence in most developing countries. This caused harmful effects on the environment and human beings. Bioremediation can be an alternative green technology for remediation of such hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Bioremediation of soil contaminated with 5% and 10% (w/w) diesel fuel amended with 10% soy cake (SC), potato ski...
متن کاملDynamics of diesel fuel degradation in contaminated soil using organic wastes
Bioremediation is an effective measure in dealing with such contamination, particularly those from petroleum hydrocarbon sources. The effect of soil amendments on diesel fuel degradation in soil was studied. Diesel fuel was introduced into the soil at the concentration of 5 % (w/w) and mixed with three different organic wastes tea leaf, soy cake, and potato skin, for a period of 3 months. Withi...
