Biostimulation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon ContaminatedSoils Using Bryophylum Pinnatum ExtractsBy Ozioko Fabian Chidiebere, Okirie Faith Uchendu, Aghogho Uwanogho
Abstract: This study investigates the remediation potential of Bryophylum pinnatum extracts (water and ethanol-based) for degrading total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in loamy and clay soils. Crude oil contaminants used in the study exhibited a pH of 6.76, density of 0.878 g/mL at 15 °C, kinematic viscosity of 147.4 mm²/s at 40 °C, and a flash point of 193.2 °C. The baseline TPH concentration in the soils was 48,291.14 ppm. Soils were …
