EFFECT OF HYDROCARBON DEGRADATION ON VARIOUS PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF SOIL OF HILL AREAS OF ASSAM
Keywords:
Hydrocarbon Degradation, Soil ph, Electrical Conductivity, Soil Texture, Soil Organic CarbonAbstract
Soil is the basis of rooted plants upon which the animal kingdom is dependent for, but soil is now-a-days a depleting natural resource. Nutrients, oxidizing agents etc. expedicted the process of biodegradation of oil hydrocarbons which involves process of oxidation and subsequent fragmentation of higher hydrocarbons. This paper lights on the changes of some organic parameters namely PH, electrical conductivity, soil texture and organic carbon due to hydrocarbon pollution on soils of hill areas of Assam with and without oxidizing agent hydrogen peroxide and a mixed nutrients in a period of 150 days.
