Remediation of a Model Petroleum Hydrocarbon-polluted Soil after Amendment with Nutrient-rich Sludge Obtained from a Beverage Effluent Treatment Plant in Benin City, Nigeria

Beckley Ikhajiagbe & Chinenye C. Chijioke-Osuji · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2015

The present study investigated the bioremediation of a petroleum hydrocarbon-polluted soil after substrate amendment with nutrient-rich sludge (NRS). Sun-dried top soil was measured into buckets and thoroughly mixed with waste engine oil (WEO) on a weight basis to obtain 5% w/w o...

Intrinsic Qualities of a Naturally Attenuated Petroleum Hydrocarbon-polluted Seed Bed Exposed to Different Kinds of Mulching Materials

Chinenye C. Chijioke-Osuji & Beckley Ikhajiagbe · Advances in Research · 2016

As materials that help in the conservation of soil moisture, improvement of soil health and fertility, mulches also improve microbial activity, which is sin qua non to successful intrinsic bioremediation. The study investigated the effects of mulching with selected materials on t...
