Conceptual Investigation of Temperature Effect on Total Dissolved Solid and Electrical Conductivity on Treatment of Polluted Water Using AdsorbentBy Ukpaka C. P, Achadu M. Abah
Abstract: The conceptual investigation of temperature effect on total dissolved solid and electrical conductivity of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated water medium was monitored using adsorbent packed in packed bed column. The experiment was set up for treatment of the contaminated water medium with crude oil and the initial concentration of the total dissolved solid and electrical conductivity was determined as well as after treatment. The result obtained showcases high mitigation in the …

Potential of the Biokinetic Integrity of Chromolaena Odorata leaf as Bio-stimulant for Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation in SoilBy Ukpaka C. P, Achadu M. Abah, Obinna Isaac Ikechi
Abstract: The biokenitic parameters of each TPH degradation in the various reactors set-up was determined in terms specific rate of TPH degradation, maximum specific rate of TPH degradation and the equilibrium or dissociation constants as well as the rate of TPH degradation (-kd) or the decay rate of TPH. The value of -kd is within the range of -0.0551 to -0.0151 for room dried and -0.0447 to 0.0118 for sundried whereas …

Study of Crude Oil Degradation Using Bio-stimulant: The Concept of Remediation ApplicationBy Ukpaka C. P, Adaobi Stephenie Nwosi-Anele
Abstract: The Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation was monitored in a batch reactor with the addition of bio-stimulants of palm oil processed waste water (POPWW) and NPK fertilizer in contaminated clay soil medium. The comparative study on the performance of both bio-simulants revealed that the NPK fertilizer was more effective than the palm oil processed waste water (POPWW). This study is based on the overview on the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbon …
