Abstract

The effect of native palygorskite clay and that modified with dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride on the degradation of oil products in an oligotrophic peat soil under complete flooding at the application of lime and mineral fertilizers has been studied under laboratory conditions. It has been shown that the incubation of oil-contaminated soil with unmodified clay and fertilizers at the application of lime under complete flooding with water affects the dynamics of pH and Eh and slows the development of reducing conditions compared to the use of clay without fertilizers. The addition of organoclay under similar conditions favors the formation of potential-determining system with a high redox capacity, which is capable of retaining the potential on a level of 100–200 mV at pH ∼ 7 for two months. It has been found that, under the experimental conditions, unmodified and modified clay, which has no toxic effect on the bacterial complex, does not increase the biodegradation efficiency of oil products in the oligotrophic peat soil compared to the experimental treatments without clay addition. Possible reasons for no positive effect of palygorskite clay on the biodegradation rate of oil products under experimental conditions have been analyzed.
