Bioremediation of soil contaminated with native polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from unburnt coal using an in-vessel composting method

Abstract: The present study was undertaken to investigate the removal of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) listed as priority pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA-PAHs) that are found in coal-contaminated soil during simulated in-vessel composting. Contaminated soil (S) was mixed with green waste (W) in the ratios of 3:1, 1:1, and 1:3 under neutral and acidic soil conditions in laboratory-scale composting reactors. The highest removal efficiency of total 16 USEPA-PAHs (71.88%) was observe… Show more

“…Interest has increased concerning the use of composting/biopiling as it has shown to be effective in degrading PAHs (Mizwar et al, 2016). Antizar-Ladislao et al (2004) had reviewed the bioremediation of PAH contaminated wastes using composting approaches.…”

“…The increasing of TPH bioavailability was also assisted by the presence of compost Humic Acid Like (cHAL) which was formed in humification process and had surfactant like-ability [39,40]. Furthermore, that process could lead to greater TPH catabolic activity of indigenous bacteria in crude oil contaminated soil [41]. This was the reason for low TPH degradation in CS composting, although the bacterial population was similar to S/YR.…”

“…After the mixture of compost soil, the temperature inside the vessel will be controlled by the control system to maintain the range of temperature under 55-65℃ and fix flow amount for oxygen into the compost soil to activate the work of microorganism. The used bulking agent can be recycled back with the new bulking agent at the mixing process [27,28]. The bulking agent is to be used to allow space for the oxygen air to enter into the compost pile and provide the less moisture content to allow to absorb the moisture content of soil.…”
