GO BACK TO THE AREA OF OTHERSInvention entitled “Method of bioremediation of soil contaminated with creosote oil” (Pat.248029/P.446351)
Description:
The method of bioremediation of soil contaminated with creosote oil is characterised by the introduction of the bacterial biopreparation Bacillus pumilus 2A with an optical density of OD600 2.4 into the soil by sprinkling, in an amount of 2-3 l/m² of contaminated soil, followed by homogenisation of the soil and bioremediation over a period of 160-180 days, maintaining soil moisture at 25%-30% aerating it every 10-14 days. After 30 days, the Bacillus pumilus 2A bacterial biopreparation with an optical density of OD600 2.4 is reintroduced in the same dose as before. Then, over a period of 50-60 days, the enzymatic biopreparation Mucor racemosus A37 is introduced by sprinkling in the form of a suspension in water at a concentration of 8-10 g/l, in an amount of 2-3 l/m² of soil, and the soil is homogenised and the bioremediation process is continued.
