Biostimulation and Monitoring of Diesel Fuel Polluted Soil Amended With Biowaste

A lab-scale experiment was set up to investigate the efficiency of addition 5% (w/w) individually of three different organic solid waste amendments to enhance the rate of degradation at 5% and 15% diesel oil in polluted soil during 18 weeks. A total of 81% and 42% oil loss was recorded in soil amended with soycake at 5% and 15% oil pollution, respectively. The measured δ13C signature of CO2 evolved from amending contaminated soil varied between...
