  • ASSESSMENT OF LEACHATE CONTAMINATION OF GROUNDWATER AT SOME WASTE DISPOSAL SITES IN THE SOUTHERN GUINEA SAVANNAH ECOLOGICAL ZONE OF NIGERIA USING GEOELECTRIC PROCESSES

    Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management, 2021
    This study aims at determining the leachate contamination of the groundwater resource at selected domestic wastes disposal sites in Minna, Nigeria for a population about 2.1 million, to locate aquifers and hydraulically active structures by tracing the movement of contaminant plumes and seepages in ground at the selected locations. Resistivity data was collected using a terrameter (SAS4000) while the Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) mode was deployed using the Schlumberger array to enable investigation of the depth penetration of contaminant plume. The induced polarization (IP) was used to determine the level of contaminant plume. The VES readings measured at 50m intervals along each profile line and 100m inter-profile distance, with a maximum current electrode separation of 200m and potential electrode separation of 30m. There are equal numbers of three and four layers observed on the profile, which has ten VES points. The first layer has a resistivity range between 48.4 Ωm & 428 Ωm and thickness between 0.65m & 3.83m. However, isolated resistivity area such as VES; N5 (287Ωm), N6 (295Ωm) and N8 (428Ωm) also suggested sandy/soil rich in organic matter (humus material/soil). The second and third layer is the fractured basement which has very low resistivity values for most VES (N1–48.5Ωm, N2–38.7Ωm, N3–41.6Ωm, N5–61.5Ωm, N7–49.6Ωm, N8–60.7Ωm, N9–108Ωm and N10–97.6Ωm) that indicated leachate presence and contamination, which results from increased ionic concentration. In conclusion, it was discovered that the study area had high conductivity values for some of the locations using the resitivity determination method. This indicated the presence of water within the study area. It was also concluded that the IP which indicated high concentration of metals caused the lowering of the resisitivity values at some of the locations, thus indicating the presence of metals within the study area.
  • Effects of tractorization and organic manure on physical properties of sandy loam soil in abeokuta, nigeria

    Soil compaction has effect on soil physical properties which could affect crop growth and yield. This study was conducted to determine the influence of incorporating organic materials and load application (tractorization) on the physical properties of sandy loamy soil in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Organic materials were cow dung, poultry and swine manure. Application rates of organic manures were 0 (control), 5 and 10 tonnes per hectare. Forty-five plots measuring 5 by 3 m were established in a complete randomized block experimental design with three replications making a total of 135 plots. Load application was done using an MF 435 tractor coupled with a 20-disc harrow at 0 (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20 passes. Penetration resistance, bulk density, gravimetric moisture content andporosity were determined using standard procedures. Penetrometer resistance at these passes were 392.2, 293.3, 285.0, 302.0 and 224.9 kPa respectively with significant differences between treatments (P≤0.05). Mean bulk density for the passes were 1.21, 1.26, 1.31, 1.27 and 1.29 g/cm3 respectively and bulk density increased with tractor passes. The effect of tractor passes, and manure incorporation rate did not have any significant effect on gravimetric moisture content. Poultry manure increased bulk density and penetrometer resistance on plots than swine manure and cow dung hence poultry manure at 10 t/ha can be incorporated on a sandy loam soil to enhance soil fertility and sustainability.Keywords: Tractorization, organic manure, sandy loam, penetration resistance, bulk density
  • Determination of elemental composition of soil samples from selected dumpsites in Nasarawa, Kogi and Niger states, Nigeria

    Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management, 2019
    The growing dominance of urban environment with heavy metals through natural and anthropogenic depositions and the potentially adverse health implications following environmental contaminations have focused attention on the disposal of municipal and industrial wastes. This study employed analytical procedures to investigate the concentrations of chromium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and aluminium at the municipal waste dump site of the study areas. Soil samples were randomly collected from different waste dumpsite across Nasarawa, Kogi, and Niger states and an undisturbed soil 100m away from the dumpsites was chosen as the control. From the result obtained, it was observed that the metals in all dumpsite types followed the order: Mn>Fe>Zn>Cu>Cr>Al. Mn had the highest mean concentration which was recorded in Bida, Borgu and Minna in Niger State while Al was the least detected in all the dumpsites with the lowest mean concentrations (5.7±0.96) recorded in Borgu. Mean concentration of all the metals at the dumpsites was higher than at the control which means there is an anthropogenic contribution from the environment. The concentrations of the heavy metals were generally lower than their respective guideline values for the protection of human and environmental health. However, with prolong practice of dumping refuse at these sites; concentrations of the heavy metals may increase above the recommended limits. Therefore, we recommend that further research be carried out on the heavy metals concentration of the waste materials to identify those that are potential sources of soil contamination to suggest appropriate treatment and disposal methods.
