Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the different treatment options like chemical, biological and thermal treatments at lab scale on oil contaminated soil. The data revealed that maximum oil reduction was observed in chemical treatment. Hydrogen peroxide, sulphuric acid, ferrous sulphate, calcium hypo-chlorite and kerosene/surfactant were used either in single or in combination to get maximum reduction of oil at different dose rate. Best result was obtained (92.60 %) in treatment having 15 mL of hydrogen peroxide in 100 g soil sample in combination of sulphuric acid (3 mL) at pH 2 and in biological treatments maximum oil reduction (89.22 %) occurred in 20 g of cow dung in 100 g soil sample in combination with 1 g of KH₂PO₄. In thermal treatment exposure at 450 °C for 15 min gave maximum reduction (78.22 %) in oil polluted soil sample as compared to 400 and 300 °C.
