“…Adsorption behavior of PAHs in petroleum wastewater onto bamboo activated carbon was investigated by simulating petroleum wastewater with 2.5L of Bonny light crude oil and distilled water of 50L containing 3.5% NaCl salt. NaCl salt was used in the simulation in order to create an artificial aquatic environment according to Zubaidy, (2012). The simulated petroleum wastewater was then left to weather for 48 hrs.…”

Determination and remediation of pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have not being fully regulated in Nigeria; hence contamination of surface water by such pollutant is a major concern. This study was designed to determine the level of selected PAHs in petroleum contaminated water using spectroscopic techniques and the efficacy of activated carbons made from Bambusa vulgaris and Oxytenanthera vabyssinaca. Bambusa vulgaris and Oxytenanthera abyssinaca were carbonized at 350OC and activated with Phosphoric acid (CBV350OC H3PO4) and Potassium chloride (COA 350OC KCl) as dehydrating agent respectively. The adsorbents were then used to remediate PAHs in petroleum contaminated water. Liquid-Liquid extraction procedures were used for extracting selected PAHs from sampled solutions. The batch experiment was performed to study the adsorption capacity of adsorbents at 5hrs contact time. Analysis of PAHs concentration for each sampling day was determined by GC-MS. Total PAHs in simulated wastewater did not show a clear trend, contrary to the expectation that there should be a progressive increase with time due to photolysis or photodecomposition of compounds or PAHs. COA 350OC KCl showed a range of 6.2-19.3% removal efficiency of each selected PAH with a total percentage efficiency of 27.7-70.8 for all days. For CBV350OC H3PO4 removal efficiency ranged from 10.26-19.30% for each selected PAH and a total efficiency of 50.8-100% for all selected PAHs for the 4 days intervals. The experimental result showed that adsorbent made from Bambusa vulgaris and Oxytenanthera abyssinaca and activated with H3PO4 and KCl as dehydrating agentrespectively can efficiently adsorb the selected PAHs in contaminated water. The study also revealed that PAHs in contaminated water increases with time due to photodecomposition, thus necessitating their treatment on time.

Natural agricultural products have the potential to be a substitute for synthetic polymers absorbentsin environmental remediation and spill cleanup and recovery. One of these natural by-productswhich is available in many regions of the world is Date Palm Fibers (DPF). DPF (also known assurface fibers) is a natural sorbent that exhibits good sorption characteristics. In an attempt tovalorize this abundant, low cost byproduct, we have investigated the micro porosity of this rawmaterial by carrying out two procedures. First, hydrothermal pyrolysis using a scalable reactor withonly water as solvent at high temperature (480 °C) under dry nitrogen atmosphere. Biochar yield wasfound varying from 30.5 to 33.6% (32%), with little bio-oil.Then the resultant biochar was physically activated with KOH and the mixture heated to 750oC(0.5oC/min) and kept at 750°C for 2 hours under Argon flow in a tubular furnace to produceactivated carbon. Second, the resulting biochar and activated carbons were then characterized byParticle Analyzer to measure their surface area, pore volume and pore diameter.For biochar, surface area : 1.1374 m²/g, pore volume 0.001883 cm³/g, pore diameter 1355.874 Å andfor activated biochar (activated carbon), surface area : 1220.2755 m²/g, pore volume: 0.062068cm³/g, pore diameter: 19.0116 Å were determined by particle characterization analyzer. ScanningElectron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) was also used for other analysis .The oil sorption behavior of the raw DPF, biochar and activated biochar were examined with motoroil. The Oil Sorption Capacity (OSC) of raw DPF, biochar and activated biochar were tested with theoil as oil alone and an oil over water surface and the value calculated gravimetrically. The maximumOSC values of the sorbents were in the order of: DPF<biochar< activated Biochar with OSC valuesof 8.952, 11.712 and 33.402 g*oil/g*sorbent, respectively at a sorption time of 30 min. That indicatethe OSC of the sorbents above are proportional with its surface areas.The sorbent materials can be utilized in oil spill remediation as well as waste water treatment forremoval of hydrocarbons pollutants from water. In addition biochar can be used as a soil amendmentfor enhancing soil fertility
