Remediation Of Soil Contaminated By Palm Oil Mill Effluent :- Felix, Joshua O
ABSTRACT
The remediation ofsoil contaminated by palm oil
mill effluent (POME)” was carried out at Micheal Okpara University of
Agriculture (MOUAU). Three different locations of palm oil mill effluent site
were selected within the area and soil sample were collected from the surface
(0-15cm) and subsurface (15-30cm) according to standard. The analysis of
chemical properties ofthe soil was carried out before and after remediation.
Poultry manure collection from the poultry farm within MOUAU were used for the
remediation. The results of the analysis were subjected to analysis of variance
(ANOVA) and further separated using Duncan multiple test. The results show that
the palm oil mill effluent had influence on the chemical properties .of the
soil. The results also show that there is an increase in pH values after
remediation and there is significant difference in the values ofmost ofthe soil
chemical properties analyzed. It was observed that palm oil mill effluent can
negatively affect the agricultural soil and hence the need for remediation.
