Biostimulation of spent engine oil contaminated soil using Ananas comosus and Solanum tuberosum peels
This paper presents an assessment of biostimulation potential of Ananas comosus and Solanum tuberosum peels in soils contaminated with spent engine oil. Microcosms bioreactors containing the spent engine contaminated soil and the peels were set –up and monitored for 49 days. The extents of disappearance of the spent engine oil were determined by analyzing the contaminated soils using gas...
