Abstract
Infiltration of spilled light and heavy crude oils and refinery products: gasoline, kerosene, winter- and summer-grade diesel fuels into gravel sand, fine-grained sands, sandy till, and peat has been studied. The depth of penetration of these hydrocarbon liquids (HCLs) into soil was measured over time. The penetration depths are best described by simple exponential asymptotic functions, the asymptote values being the maximum infiltration depths (MIDs) for each “HCL‒soil” pair of objects in experiment. The dependences of MIDs on the logarithm of filtration coefficients were determined for all “HCL‒soil” systems under study. These dependences are described by a single curve (parabola in this case).
