Investigation of the Solvent Extraction Using Alcohol and Water on Bryophylum pinnatum Leaves for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Degradation on Loamy Soil
Abstract: Investigation of the solvent extraction using alcohol and water on Bryophylum pinnatum leaves for total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation on loamy soil was monitored for the purpose of evaluating the Micheal’s Menten functional parameters as well as the coefficients. The maximum specific rate of the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH), which was expressed as Vmax and the rate of the dissociation of the TPH, which is denoted as Km was computed in …

The Impact of Bacteria and Biostimulants on Crude Oil Breakdown in Loamy Soil
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of bacteria and biostimulants—specifically Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves soaked in both water and ethanol—on the degradation of crude oil in loamy soil. A laboratory-scale bioremediation setup was employed using a batch reactor model and first-order degradation kinetics to assess total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) breakdown under controlled conditions. Various analytical tools and procedures, including gas chromatography (Agilent 6890) and microbial media such as nutrient agar and mineral …
