Identification of test specimensPercolate types

NSNatural soil (soil before percolation of contaminants)

S-DWSoil percolated by distilled water

S-SLSoil percolated by the slurry

S-WOSoil resulting from the mixture of soil and waste oil of car engine

S-WO-BSoil resulting from the mixture of soil and waste oil of car engine, percolated by the biosurfactant

S-SL-BSoil percolated by the slurry followed by the biosurfactant
