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 this topic “Influence of the Society on Students’ Performance” be used for Education Project?
Yes it can be utilized for research — Scholars’ preoccupation with the teaching and learning of English language among other languages in this part of the world is founded as it is the language of instruction in schools as well as the lingua franca in many African nations, Nigeria included. Given that students and their teachers do not exist in isolations of the society influencing students’ performance in English language as a subject in the secondary school. …
Can the material for “Assessing the Impact of Poverty on Maternal and Infant Mortality” be used as a guide for Applied Science Project?
Yes it can be used — This research work consider the impact of poverty on maternal and infant mortality in Jos North Local Government area. Maternal and infant mortality are not new concept in the social and medical sciences. They both pose serious threats to human survival especially in the future generations it is a saying, that the future of any society depends on the health condition of the women and the young population. The sustenance of the society and the economy largely depends on these two groups, to this end, their health and security is of utmost importance so as to avert feeling endless, depression and loss of lives. In order to assess the impact of this menace in our area of study, the researcher adopted …
Can the material for “The Role of Small Scale Industries in Rural Development” be used as a guide for Business Administration and Management (BAM) Project?
Yes it can be used — This research project titled:- THE ROLE OF SMALL SCALE INDUSTRIES IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT (A CASE STUDY OF ANAMBRA EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT) is a case study type of research, and the instrument used in gathering date is the questionnaire method. Every dick and harry harp on small-scale industries as the modus operandi too rural development hence the researcher became interested on the topic. The objective is to find out the relevance of small-scale industries in rural development. Two hundred (200) were randomly sampled and administered with questionnaire, out of the population of two hundred and thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and fifty-seven (235,957) ninety four and half percent (189) of the questionnaires were returned. Data collected was presented and analysed using textual and tabular …
Can the material for “The Role of Bank in the Development of SME in Nigeria” be used as a guide for Banking and Finance (BF) Project?
Yes it can be used — The economy of any nation is usually boosted (or otherwise down troubled though the influence and impact (positive and negative) of small and medium industries. This is usually the grade industries that are seen every where in our urban and rural areas and which cater for the immediate needs of the populace of any given nation. Small and medium industries are seen to suffer untold hardship owing to the regulatory polices of government. Most government policies and other external environmental variable usually affect the small and medium industries and further hamper the economic growth and development. But sometimes too, there could be some favourable policies which could help to improve the status of the small and medium industries. This research …
Can the material for “The Employment Creation Potentials of Small Scale Business” be used as a guide for Business Administration and Management (BAM) Project?
