THE EFFECT OF BIOREMEDIATION ON THE COMPACTION PARAMETERS, CBR, AND PERMEABILITY OF OIL POLLUTED SOIL


ABSTRACT

Environmental pollution with petroleum and petrochemical products has been recognized as one of the most important and serious challenges facing environment engineers. Disposal from mechanic sites, accidental leakages from petroleum carrying ships, vandalization of pipelines, have all contributed to the current common oil pollution in Nigeria today.

The currently used physical and chemical remediation are effective for the degradation of petroleum products but the affected medium lose the desired properties. Apart, they frequently produce many hazardous compounds which are harmful for living beings. In contrast, bioremediation is effective in terms of safety of the desired properties, but long term tolerance studies are needed before it’s being recommended for large scale use.

Bioremediation of engine oil-polluted, and diesel polluted lateritic soil samples were carried out; using indigenous oil-degrading bacteria isolated from deliberately polluted soil samples. Isolates were subjected to biochemical tests, and identified as pseudomonas. The engineering properties of polluted samples were tested as the bioremediation proceeds. The result showed that the polluted samples regained almost all engineering properties on complete bioremediation of the polluted sample. Meanwhile, the rate at which the bioremediation takes place highly depends on the nature of the pollution. In this case, the rate of bioremediation of diesel-polluted sample is higher than that of the engine oil-polluted sample under the same condition.


CHAPTER ONE


Introduction

1.1 Background of the Research.

1.1.1. Bioremediation Concept:

Bioremediation can be defined as any process that uses microorganism or their enzymes to reform the environment altered by contaminants to its original condition. Bioremediation may be employed in order to attack specific contaminants, such as oil spills that are broken down using multiple techniques including the addition of fertilizer to facilitate the decomposition of crude oil by bacteria. Such treatment will go a long way to improving the engineering properties of such soil and enhance its suitability.

Generally, bioremediation technologies can be classified as insitu or exsitu. Insitu bioremediation involves treating the contaminated material at the site while exsitu involves the removal of the contaminated material to be treated elsewhere.

Often, bioremediation can be accomplished without human intervention by microorganisms that are naturally found in the contaminated matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Can the material for “Open Defecation and Its Effect on the Human Health and Environment” be used as a guide for Environmental Science Project?

Yes it can be used — Open defecation is the act of passing excreta in open air locations instead of in hygienic, covered locations. Efforts to eradicate open defecation and improve sanitation access are unlikely to achieve health benefits unless interventions reduce microbial exposures. The aim of the study is to assess the Open Defecation and Its Effect on the Human Health and Environment. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to assess the relationship between sanitation practices and the bacteriological quality of drinking water sources, determine the risk factors contributing to open defecation in the rural environments of the study area, and assess the water quality index and multivariate analysis for groundwater quality assessment of villages of rural in Delta State. …


Is the topic “Design and Implementation of a Computerized News Editing System” recommended for Computer Science (CS) Project?

Yes it is highly recommended — News Editing is the process of preparing language, News, for presentation to the audience, through correction, condensation, organization and other modification. The aim of this study is to design a new system that will surpass the existing system in reviewing, detecting, correction, and summarization of reports. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that poor identification of errors in the reports, and organizational reports are not orderly manner for presentation to the audience. Other motivation issues are outline at the statement of problems section. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout …


Can this topic “The Role of Mass Media in a Democratic Governance” be used for Political Science Project?

Yes it can be utilized for research — This study examines the role of mass media in a democratic governance. Specifically mass Media are generally assumed to play an important role in democracies, but how effective are they in performing this function within specific states hence this study. The study adopts four specific objectives to the study which are (i) To ascertain the level of equal media coverage given to political parties to candidates. (ii) To ascertain the significant relationship between mass media & electioneering campaign. (iii) To ascertain the significant level of mobilization of mass media towards elections and (iv)To determine the significant role mass media plays towards the democratic governance in Nigeria . The Methodology of the study includes :design of the study, area of the …

Can the material for “The Impact of Inflation on Economic Growth in Nigeria” be used as a guide for Economics Project?

Yes it can be used — The study seeks to present an empirical analysis of the impact of inflation on economic growth in Nigeria, using annual time-series dataset for the period 1979-2008. It has been argued that inflation is an unavoidable phenomenon in the face of economic growth. That is why, over the years there had been a long standing conventional wisdom that inflation impedes economic growth. The stationarity and co-integration techniques were adopted to examine the data in order to determine if there exists a long-run relationship among the variables. Also, using OLS regression technique, our empirical findings revealed an inverse significance relationship between inflation and economic growth in Nigeria. These findings revealed an inverse significant relationship between inflation and economic growth in Nigeria. These findings …


Can the material for “Using Sound to Measure Temperature” be used as a guide for Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) Project?

Yes it can be used — A method to measure the real time temperature distribution along an interferometer path based on the propagation of acoustic waves is presented. It exploits the high sensitivity of the speed of sound in air to the air temperature. In particular, it takes advantage of a special set-up where the generation of the acoustic waves is synchronous with the amplitude modulation of a laser source. A photodetector converts the laser light to an electronic signal considered as reference, while the incoming acoustic waves are focused on a microphone and generate a second signal. In this condition, the phase difference between the two signals substantially depends on the temperature of the air volume interposed between the sources and the receivers. The comparison with …
