Abstract

n

n

nThe study of the performance of bio-remediant was demonstrated in terms of percentage reduction of petroleum hydrocarbon remediation in soil using ponderosa lemon leaf as bio-stimulant. The bio-stimulant was introduced into two environmental conditions of room-dried and sun-dried sample and the impact of the environmental factor was considered in the contributing agent on the variation in the rate of the total hydrocarbon degradation as well as the variation in the percentage of the TPH concentration. Indeed, the investigation revealed that the percentage reduction of the total petroleum hydrocarbon was more with the bio-stimulant subjected into room-dried than the sample subjected into sun-dried and the reason for such variation was monitor as well as integrated to be the effect of environmental factors. The effect of sunlight induced the nutrients content of plant extract especially, when they are exposed into such environmental conditions, the study further demonstrates the significance of the effect of sunlight on the total organic content, nitrogen concentration, phosphorus concentration, potassium concentration, electrical conductivity value and pH value. However, the integrity and the potential of plant extract performance for effectiveness in the bioremediation is dependent of the processing conditions in which the raw materials are subjected.nn
