“…Furthermore, the lowest MDD value recorded in the C1 sample can be attributed to the high percentage of oil still present in the soil, as revealed in Figure 8. Oil viscosity and density values are lower than the values attained by water; thus, when oil occupies soil pores it lowers the soil bulk density and subsequently the soil's MDD values (Mustafa et al, 2018). The lowest MDD and highest OMC recorded in the C4 sample could be linked to the activities of the wood ash used in remediating the polluted soil.…”

This study was embarked upon to ascertain the effectiveness of using physical and biological remediation procedures to amend the impact of oil pollution on soil engineering properties. Soil contaminated with crude oil at a mix ratio of 20:1 (percentage by weight), was remediated with charcoal (C2), charcoal + seaweed extract + groundnut plant (C3), and charcoal + wood ash + groundnut plant (C4). During the procedure, the soil’s total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) level was determined through American Public Health Association (APHA) approved procedures; while the geotechnical (maximum dry density “MDD”, optimal moisture content “OMC, and California bearing ratio “CBR”) and electrical properties (electrical conductivity “EC”, dielectric constant “ɛʹ, and electrical resistivity “ρ”) were measured in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved procedures. The results depicted that the TPH, ɛʹ and ρ-values of the contaminated soil samples declined by 56.71%, 82.01% and 72.80%; 31.65%, 36.85% and 19.92%; and 56.32%, 62.03% and 60.27%, respectively in the C2, C3 and C4 samples after the remediation program; while the soil EC increased by 103.45%, 145.68% and 135.34% in the C2, C3 and C4 samples, respectively. Likewise, the C2, C3 and C4 samples CBR, MDD and OMC values increased by 29.49%, 34.75% and 50.30%; 7.87%, 11.02% and 4.72; and 12.02%, 28.01% and 40.38%, respectively at the end of the experimental period. These findings portrayed that hybridized remediation therapies are better remediating techniques in remediating contaminated soils; hence sustaining the integrity of the soils’ geotechnical and electrical properties.

Parametric Study of a Soil Erosion Control Technique: Concrete Lozenges Channels

et al. 2022

A new technique, "the concrete lozenges channels" is described in this paper. It is an erosion control measure to attenuate the water soil loss quantity to a tolerable level. These are open inclined channels that form lozenges on the slope. In fact, they drain rainfall, runoff, and sediments alongside the slope into the ditch. Using the RUSLE erosion model for erosion assessment, the parameters that had the most influence on the percentage decrease of the soil erodibility are discussed. A comparison between techniques already used, that is, the concrete arches and the concrete lozenge channels proposed in this paper, makes it possible to mention the shortcomings and the strengths of each technique. In fact, the percentage decrease in erosion soil loss is about 42% for 2 arches and is about 49% for 2 lozenges. If the number of channels present on the slope increases, the area exposed to erosion decreases. By comparing the study case, the exposed area for one lozenge is less by 39% to 68% than the exposed area for one arch. The total perimeter lengths are comparable. In this article, a parametric study is undertaken to define the optimum dimensions and optimum number of concrete inclined channels. The ditch section and the inclined channel section are determining factors in the lozenge sizing. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-09-09 Full Text: PDF
