ABSTRACT

The efficiency of oil remediation of crude oil contaminated soils was analyzed in this work. Factors such as (a) volume of oil spilled, (b) volume of detergent used (c) weight of soil and (d) contact time between oil and soil were isolated for their effect on efficiency.

The result shows that the efficiency of remediation by detergent leaching of soil is a function of the following parameters, volume of detergent used, weight of soil and contact time. As expected, plots of volume of crude oil against detergent has positive slopes while plots of crude oil against weight of soil and contact time has negative slopes.
