Phytoremediation of Oil Polluted Soils and the Effect
of Petroleum Product on the Growth of Glycine max.

Abstract:

Selecting the tolerant plant species to grow on aged petroleum hydrocarbon-polluted soils is an important factor for a successful phytoremediation technology. Phytoremediation is a green technology that can become a promising solution for the aspect of decontaminating oil-polluted soils and for the ecological restoration of the landscape. Our comparative studies evaluate the effect of oil hydrocarbon pollution with a high initial concentration on growth characteristics of leguminous species: Glycine max. The experimental block contains control and non fertilized/fertilized polluted variants with 25 t.ha-1 sewage sludge anaerobically stabilized in absence/presence volcanic tuff variants. After six months of the experiment’s soil samples in which plant species had grown well they were analyzed for total petroleum hydrocarbons) removal. Species showed promising efficiency in the phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted soil but there was noticed reduced growth of the surveyed plants Glycine max significantly for polluted and untreated variants. The efficiency of the total petroleum hydrocarbons diminution is increased in the case the addition of fertilizer as opposed to the initial quantity. In the case of the phytoremediation of polluted soils treated with fertilizer and volcanic tuff the soil total petroleum hydrocarbons quantity was decreased by two times vs. polluted and untreated soils. Keywords: total petroleum hydrocarbons, phytoremediation, polluted soils, sewage waste, indigenous volcanic tuff
