Simultaneous removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and copper from soils using ethyl lactate-Amended EDDS solution
A new approach using aqueous ethyl lactate-modified [S,S]-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS) washing solutions was examined in the laboratory for the simultaneous removal of phenanthrene, pyrene, and Cu from contaminated soils. Ethyl lactate demonstrated greater solubilization efficiency for phenanthrene and pyrene than ethanol. Thus ethyl lactate has a great potential for extracting ...

Surfactant–enhanced remediation of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons
An experimental programme was undertaken to reclaim the soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Two types of locally available soils, clay with low compressibility and poorly graded sand, were chosen for the study. Both the soils were contaminated with varying percentages of used engine oil and gasoline. Anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) was used to reclaim the contaminated ...

Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Remediation
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms and are the building blocks of many fossil fuels. Petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and oil, are major sources of hydrocarbons. Spills or leaks of these products can result in soil contamination, and if left unaddressed, can have significant environmental and health impacts. In this article, we will discuss the ...

Treatment of oil contaminated soil from a wyoming refinery
An oily soil sample was shipped from the refinery site to the test Laboratories on June 17, 1995. The sample was stored at 4 °C until testing began. The sample was in the form of a dense pasty mud, black in color, and consisted of oily residues mixed with what appeared to be bentonite clay. Characterization showed the ...

Oil-Contaminated Soil Remediation: The Process of Cleaning Up Soil Polluted With Oil
Oil contamination of soil is a widespread problem that can have serious environmental and health impacts. The presence of oil in the soil can result from a variety of sources, including spills from storage tanks or pipelines, leakage from vehicles, and improper disposal of waste oil. In order to protect the environment and public health, it is essential to clean up contaminated soil and restore ...

Potential of treated contaminated soil as a sustainable stabilising admixture
Soil improvement can be achieved by adopting different techniques suitable for specific application within the ambient environment and the incorporation of different materials into weak soils has proven to be one such technique. This paper deals with an attempt to study the potential use of treated petroleum contaminated soil as a sustainable stabilising material. In addition to improving the ...

Bioremediation of Oil-Contaminated Soil in Kazakhstan - Case Study
Project Description The project consisted of the bioremediation of soil contaminated with mineral oils and approximately 3% crude oil. The soil matrix consisted of a fine grain composition with high salt contents. Therefore, a special bioremediation process employing static regeneration had been developed. The remediation procedure also included the sensor assisted addition of air and steam ...

Assessment Of Tropical Grasses And Legumes For Phytoremediation Of Petroleum-Contaminated Soils
Phytoremediation is a promising technology for the clean-up of petroleum-contaminated soils, especially in the tropics where climatic conditions favour plant growth and microbial activity and where financial resources can be limited. The objective of this work was to identify tropical plant species from the eastern savannahs of Venezuela suitable for this technology. Three legumes (Calopogonium ...

Decontamination of soil contaminated with petroleum grease
Contamination modifies the engineering properties of soil, thereby restricting its further use either as a construction material or as a supporting medium. Due to the scarcity of land, it becomes imperative to reuse the land for infrastructure developmental activities. Out of numerous soil contaminants, automobile grease is one of the most prominent. Considering the cumulative impact of ...

Remediation of Diesel and Fuel Oil Hydrocarbons in High Clay Content Soils: A Field Comparison of Amendment Performance Conducted at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard
ABSTRACT Past practices at the now closed Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Vallejo, CA caused diesel and fuel oil range organic (DFRO) contamination of the soil. The high clay content of the soils makes any remediation effort especially challenging. Chromatography of methylene chloride extracts of Mare Island soil confirmed that little weathering or degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons had ...

ST. Thomas, USVI diesel oil spill soil remediation project case study
The Problem Staff at a major four-star resort outside St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands spilled diesel fuel and kerosene during the transfer from a tanker truck to on-site storage tanks. Approximately 67.3 m3 of soil having an average concentration of 12,000 ppm was contaminated. Because there are no treatment facilities on the Island, the resort was facing significant costs to transport the ...
