Chemical interactions of synthetic and natural remediating agents with crude oil on agricultural soil. Der Chemica Sinica, 5(2), 124-1280976-8505https://repository.futo.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14562/1568This article contains tables and figuresAltered chemical system of an Agricultural Soil resulting from crude oil spillage was subjected to NPK fertilizer and compost manure for remediation. The effect of the remediating agents was observed in-situ by examining the soil parameters before, during and after the interactions. An Ultraviolet(UV) Spectrophotometer V180 was used for the evaluation of the Total Hydrocarbon content of the soil. Remediated state of 92.5% TPH reduction, pH, moisture balance and soil restoration was achieved with a combination of 150g NPK fertilizer and 150g compost manure per meter square (300g remediating agent /m2) plot of land, after seven weeks of application.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalSoil contaminationhydrocarbon degradationin-situ remediationNPK fertilizercompost manureDepartment of ChemistryArticle
