Abstract

Soil pollution with crude oil is one of the major environmental problem today. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons which leads reduction in soil microflora. Hence, a necessary step has to be taken to remove oil pollutants from the soil. Several assays were performed to reduce crude oil contaminated soil in lab scale. Bacterial consortium along with Sapindus mukorossi absorbtion studies was performed. It has improved the remediation process upto 70%.
