Biodegradation of artisanally refined diesel and the influence of organic wastes on oil-polluted soil remediation
The increasing rate of oil-pollution in the Niger Delta due to artisanal crude oil refining has led to the destruction of farmlands/aquaculture and loss of biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of poultry waste, granite dust and palm bunch ash on the rate of hydrocarbon deg...
