Proportional Optimization of Cow Dung and Cow Bone Char for Bioremediation of Crude Oil Polluted Soil

In this research, attempts were made to study the effects of cow dung and cow bone char mixture for bioremediation of crude oil-polluted soil. This process of remediation was conducted ex-situ using an optimization technique termed three-level design with two factors - 𝟑𝟑𝟐𝟐 design factorial. The first-order kinetics was also employed in studying the kinetics of degradation with the observed correlation of determination (𝐑𝐑𝟐𝟐) between (0.726 - 0.969).
