Soil and surface water contamination by used lubricating oil is a common occurrence in most developing countries. This has been shown to have harmful effects on the environment and human beings at large. Bioremediation can be an alternative green technology for remediation of such hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Bioremediation of soil contaminated with 5% and 15% (w/w) used lubricating oil and amended with 10% brewery spent grain (BSG), banana skin (BS), and spent mushroom compost (SMC) was studied for a period of 84 days, under laboratory condition. At the end of 84 days, the highest percentage of oil biodegradation (92%) was recorded in soil contaminated with 5% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG, while only 55% of oil biodegradation was recorded in soil contaminated with 15% used lubricating oil and amended with BSG. Results of first-order kinetic model to determine the rate of biodegradation of used lubricating oil revealed that soil amended with BSG recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.4361 day−1) in 5% oil pollution, while BS amended soil recorded the highest rate of oil biodegradation (0.0556 day−1) in 15% oil pollution. The results of this study demonstrated the potential of BSG as a good substrate for enhanced remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil at low pollution concentration.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in two Brazilian contaminated soil types (clayey S1 and sandy S2) at a loading rate of 30,000 and 45,000 mg/kg. A model soil of 300 g with used lubricating oil was amended with commercially available hydrocarbon degrading microbial consortium: Amnite p1300 as the bioaugmentation (T1), other treatments consist of nutrients amendments - (NH4)2SO4 and K2HPO4 (NPK) as biostimulation (T2), unammended soil - natural attenuation as (T3) and the control soil treated with sodium azide (NaN3) as (T4) were evaluated on the microbial community and the degradation of used lubricating oil. Three microcosm replicated flasks per treatment were incubated, and the performance of each treatment was examined by monitoring CO2 evolution, microbial activity, and oil degradation rate. In Soil 1, T1 produced the highest values of CO2 of (1600.20 mg/kg) and (1347.60 mg/kg) while the least values were recorded in the control (T4) with 89.52 and 102 mg/kg in oil contaminated with 3 and 4.5 % respectively. A similar trend was obtained in the bioaugmented treatment soil (S2) with the highest CO2 production in T1. The best percentage oil degradation was also recorded where the utmost CO2 production was obtained.

Soil and groundwater contamination incidences with petroleum and petrochemical based products are growing in frequency and quantity. One example is used lubricating oil from machineries. There is a growing demand to remediate the contaminated soil with in-situ phytoremediation. Therefore in this work, Hibiscus cannabinus was investigated for its potential to remove hydrocarbon and heavy metals from soil contaminated with 2.5% and 1% used lubricating oil and amended with organic wastes [banana skin (BS), brewery spent grain (BSG) and spent mushroom compost(SMC)] for a period of 90 days. Loss of 86.4% and 91.8% used lubricating oil was recorded in soil contaminated with 2.5% and 1% oil and amended with organic wastes respectively at the end of 90 days. However, 52.5% and 58.9% oil loss was recorded in unamended soil contaminated with 2.5% and 1% oil, respectively. The plant did not accumulate hydrocarbon from the soil but shows appreciable accumulation of Fe and Zn in the root and stem. 47.0 mg/kg and 2.37 mg/kg of Fe accumulated in the root and stem while 1.5 mg/kg and 1.64 mg/kg of Zn accumulated in roots and stems of H. cannabinus respectively at the end of the experiment. The results of this study suggest that H. cannabinus has high potential for remediation of hydrocarbon and heavy metal contaminated soil.
