Comparative Study of Biodegradation of Hydrocarbons in Soils under Nipa Palm (Nypa fruticans Wurmb) Treatment
Abstract: This study evaluated the potential of Nipa palm (Nypa fruticans) powder as an alternative amendment for remediation of crude oil polluted loamy and sandy soils. Further, the study investigated the bioremediation process using the first-order degradation rate and quadratic models. From the analysis, there were changes in the physicochemical properties of the soils under the Nipa palm powder amendment during the remediation. Also, TPH reduction in the amended soil samples …

Physico-Chemical Analysis of Soil Quality Parameters in Tamilnadu Region An Analytical Approach Towards Life on Land -SDG 15
Abstract: This study examines the physico-chemical properties of soil in Tamilnadu region, supporting SDG 15’s framework for sustainable land management. Soil, as a vital non-living component, plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning by facilitating nutrient cycling, retaining water, and supporting habitats for a wide range of organisms. The research analysis key physical parameters (colour, texture, structure, porosity, density, consistency, temperature) and chemical properties, focusing on both macro and micronutrients. Various …

Chaya Plant Extract Jatropha tanjorensis: The Concepts of Bioremediation of Contaminated Soil Evaluation
Abstract: This research was carried out to study the performance of sun-dried and room dried Chaya plant extract on the remediation of crude oil contaminated soil samples from Obele Community. The parameters under investigation were Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon degraded((TPHD), pH, amount of Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium, Total organic carbon. Twenty-two (22) batch reactors were used for this research with each reactor containing 1kg of soils samples contaminated with 100ml of crude …
