Abstract: Rivers State in Niger Delta region is blessed with crude oil. Anthropogenic activities by man to make ends meet have led to environmental pollution which affects the environment and therefore there is need to resolve it using environmentally friendly materials. In this study biochar (adsorbent) was produced and applied in crude oil polluted and control soils. The results of Potentially Toxic Elements in crude oil polluted, treated and control soils were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.......
Keywords: Biochar, Magnetite Nanoparticle, Toxic Metals, Pyrolysis, Absorption
