| Summary: | Petroleum exploration and exploitation have caused significant environmental
pollution, altering soil properties. This study evaluates the phytoremediation
potential of Vetiveria zizanioides, Cynodon dactylon, and Oryza sativa L. in
degrading Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in contaminated soils from the
Minas Oil Field in Riau, Indonesia. Soil samples were prepared, homogenized, and
analyzed for particle distribution, specific gravity, nitrogen, and phosphate levels.
Over eight weeks, all three grasses demonstrated the ability to degrade PHCS, with
V. zizanioides showing the highest degradation efficiency (89.9%), followed by O.
sativa L. (85.0%), and Cynodon dactylon (75.4%). These results indicate the
effectiveness of these grasses in phytoremediation, with V. zizanioides being the
most efficient. This research highlights the potential of using specific grasses for
sustainable remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils |
