Response surface optimization and effects of total petroleum hydrocarbon degradation using agricultural wastes
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Goat manure (GM) and Palm oil mill effluent (POME) on total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) degradation. Microbial respiration rates (CO2 evolution) were investigated. TPHs degradation rate constants were estimated using the first-order kinetics model. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to investigate the surface morphologies and functional groups in GM and POME. The CO2 evolution rates in TPH contaminated soil treated with GM (TPHCS-GM), TPH contaminated soil treated with POME (TPHCS-POME), and the untreated TPH contaminated...
