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 …

Application of Monod Equation and First Order RateKinetics for the Determination of TPH Concentrationalong the DepthsBy Ozioko Fabian Chidiebere, Mabel Keke, Okirie Faith Uchendu
Abstract: In order to calculate the rate of TPH concentration along the depths, this research project applies theMonod Equation and First Order Rate Kinetics. TPH diffusion in the stagnant water medium wasexamined using the Developed Dispersion and Degradation Model integrated with the first orderdegradation rate and the Monod equation q2. TBC in both water media increased gradually over timeuntil the 56th day, and then rapidly between the 70th and 80th day. …
