“…The zone is majorly or often the main factor controlling water movement to the aquifer. Thus, it strongly affects the rate and management of groundwater (Ukpaka, 2015;Ukpaka and Ogoni, 2015;Theophilus et al, 2012;Prommer et al, 1999;Ruhdi and Mohammend, 2010;Daichao and David, 1999;Eluozo et al, 2012;Ewing et al, 1999). It is often regarded as a filter that removes undesired substances from groundwater.…”

This work is aimed at developing a mathematical model equation that can be used to predict the fate of contaminant in the soil environment. The mathematical model was developed based on the fundamental laws of conservation and the equation of continuity given asand was resolved to obtain a quadratic equation of the form C(X) = DX2+vX+f. The developed equation was then used to fit the experimental data that were obtained from the Physio-chemical analysis of the soil samples which were obtained at various depths; within the vicinity of the H & H Asphalt plant Company, located at Enito 3 in Ahoada West L.G.A, River State, Nigeria. The Experimental and Model results obtained from the Calculation and Simulation of the developed models were compared numerically and graphically as presented in this work. It was observed that there is reasonable level of agreement between the three results. The polynomial of the curve was established to ascertain the validity of the model; this was done for all the parameters that were analyzed. From the findings the model developed can be used to predict the concentration of a chemical pollutant at various depths. The reliability of the model developed was established giving the fact that through this quadratic equation the diffusivity (coefficient of diffusion), the water velocity and the irreversible reaction decay rate could be determined.

“…Plants can be used to aerate polluted soil and stimulate microbial action. In the past few decades, the environmental pollution of toxic heavy metals is the major issue throughout the world since industrial evolution [13][14][15][16][17]. Chromium is one of the heavy metal whose concentration in the environment is increasing due to different industrial processes [18].…”

The research demonstrates the significance of some physicochemical parameters on the screening characteristics of suspension in bioremediation sampling. In this investigation, physicochemical parameters of soil sample polluted with crude oil was subjected into sampling by considering the total phosphorus, nitrogen and pH concentration at initial, intermediate and final stage upon the influence of the period of exposure as well as the average values were determined mathematically. The mathematical tools of matrix was formulated from the obtained data and resolved using the mathematical techniques known as matlab (Matrix Laboratory) computer programme language. The results obtained revealed the influence of physicochemical parameters as well as the microbial concentration on increasing the screening characteristics of suspension in bioremediation during sampling.
