- Abstract
-
A simulated bioremediation study was carried out to evaluate the biodegradation of hydrocarbon fractions in soil contaminated with used lubricating oil using microbial consortium (Amnite P1300) under laboratory conditions for 90 days. Artificial contaminated soil types (clayey S1 and sandy S2) at a loading rate of 30,000 and 45,000 mg/kg in a 300 g modeled with used lubricating oil that was amended with commercially available hydrocarbon-degrading microbial consortium: contaminated soil samples were amended with commercially available hydrocarbon-degrading microbial consortium: Amnite P1300 as the bioaugmentation (T1), other treatments consist of nutrients amendments - (NH4)2SO4 and K2HPO4 (NPK) as biostimulation (T2), unamended soil - natural attenuation as (T3) and the control soil treated with sodium azide (NaN3) as (T4). These were evaluated on the microbial community and the degradation level of this used lubricating oil after contamination. Replicated three microcosms flasks per treatment were incubated, and the performance of each treatment was examined by monitoring the biodegradation of aliphatic and polycyclic hydrocarbons present in the used lubricating oil. After 90 days of incubation, Naphthalene, Acenaphthylene, and Acenaphthene were depleted in all the treatments. The control samples in both soils and the contamination levels were observed below the detection limit of 0.5 mg/kg, thus indicating abiotic removal, due to volatilization. It was observed that the shorter-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons are more degraded than the longer-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons in both soils.
Keywords: Biodegradation, hydrocarbon fractions, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Aliphatic hydrocarbons, soil types, used lubricating oil.
