KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 21(5), 1623-1630.1226-79881976-3808https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12205-016-1617-8http://hdl.handle.net/11452/33687The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of crude oil (application doses of 0.5% and 5%) from hydrocarbon contamination on the removal of the Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) from soil and to determine the removal of TPH at different temperatures (18A degrees C and 28A degrees C) during an incubation period of 240 days. The possible use of wastewater sludge as a biostimulating agent in crude oil-contaminated soils was also evaluated. The results of the 240 days of incubation indicated that the TPH removal percentages in crude oil-contaminated and sludge-treated soils at 18A degrees C were 89% and 79%, for doses of 0.5 and 5%, respectively. Incubation at 28A degrees C resulted in higher TPH removal with removal percentages of 83% (dose of 0.5%) and 91% (dose of 5%). The degradation of crude oil in contaminated soil treated with a 5% dose was significantly enhanced by the addition of wastewater sludge, whereas no apparent biostimulating effect on TPH removal was observed in the case of low-dose (0.5%) crude oil contamination.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEngineeringBiostimulationCrude oilIncubationSoilPetroleum hydrocarbonsWastewater sludgePetroleum-hydrocarbonsKinetic-modelBioremeDiationdegradationTemperatureNutrientBiodegradationCanningHydrocarbonsOils and fatsPetroleum chemistrySoil pollutionSoilsWastewater treatmentBiostimulationCrude oil contaminationsCrude oil-contaminated soilsHydrocarbon contaminationTotal petroleum hydrocarbonsContaminationArticle0004041440000132-s2.0-8499109934016231630215Engineering, civilBioremediation; Bioaugmentation; Contaminated Soil
