Abstract

Soil pollution is defined as the accumulation of persistent toxic compounds, chemicals, salts, radioactive substances or disease-causing substances in the soil that have adverse effects on plant growth and animal health. Soil polluting resources can be divided into two groups as agricultural resources and non-agricultural resources. Petroleum pollution endanger the living life in the environment, causes extinction of some species, pollution of underground and surface resources, can cause fire hazard with the evaporation of the volatile components in its structure, thus disrupting the ecological balance of nature. Therefore, it is important to clean the contaminated areas. This study was undertaken with the aim of rehabilitating soils contaminated with crude oil by using agricultural wastes for various purposes. For this purpose, crude oil pollution in the soil was created artificially in the laboratory by mixing soil and crude oil at a ratio of 10:1. In the studies, trials were established by using chicken manure, rice husk, barn manure and sawdust from agricultural wastes in order to eliminate crude oil pollution. For identification of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and trace of heavy metals namely (Zn, Cd and Co) in the crude oil contaminated samples. Each samples was mixed with sawdust (30g), chicken manure + wood sawdust (22.5 g +22.5g), chicken manure (30g), barn manure (30 g) and rice husk (30g) the results indicated that rice husk ultimately removed more petroleum hydrocarbons compared to chicken manure and their combinations. It was also found that the combination of rice husk and chicken manure reduced 75.5% of CO concentration, reduced 75.5% of Zn concentration, and reduced 75.5% of Cd concentration.
