INNOVATIVE WAYS TO CLEAN OIL-CONTAMINATED SOIL

Abstract

In the modern world, the development of industrial production is accompanied by an increase in the production and consumption of hydrocarbon raw materials. In this regard, the problem of contamination of soil, surface water, groundwater and other components of the landscape with oil products arises. Oil and petroleum products entering the environment negatively affect all components of the ecosystem. Among the most polluted objects - soil. In the research work-oil-contaminated soils of the western region of the Republic of Kazakhstan were studied and the importance of humic compounds in their purification was determined. According to the first task - the content of harmful heavy metals in the soil samples taken for research was studied. The results of the study of Humate solutions used for the purpose of cleaning contaminated soil – confirmed that their use is able to reduce the content of heavy metals in the soil, which makes them an effective means of recovery. Based on the conducted research and generalized conclusions, innovative approaches have been proposed to purify oil-contaminated soils using potassium, sodium and ammonium humates.
