Abstract


This paper monitors the depositions of nitrogen inhibited by lead in consolidated lateritic formation. The study expresses the accumulation from lateritic depositions of lead in the formation. Such conditions were observed in lateritic soil. Lead depositions were thoroughly evaluated to see if it can inhibit the deposition of nitrogen in consolidated lateritic formation. Such outside the deltaic depositions were lateritic soil predominantly deposited in such location. The study observed that nitrogen experienced fluctuation in some locations, but the significance of the study is based on high concentrations that deposit in most areas as it is observed from the graphical representations. Vacillation observed on these figures shows the heterogeneity effect from deposition of lead as an inhibitor to nitrogen. The derived solution generated developed model predicts the behaviour of nitrogen inhibited by lead in consolidated lateritic formation. The developed simulation values were subjected to validation with experimental parameters, and both parameters developed favorable fits.
