Abstract

A method is developed to slow down and prevent the penetration of oil and its distillation products into the ground. It is shown that impregnation of the soil with an aqueous solution of sodium polyacrylate (PAN) in low concentrations (up to 0.75 wt %) practically does not affect the throughput. However, with a further increase in the PAN concentration in a relatively small range from 0.75 to 1.5 wt %, the rate of oil and oil products’ (OOPs) seepage into the soil drops sharply, reaching almost zero at a PAN concentration in the impregnating aqueous solution of 2 wt % and the thickness of the impregnated soil layer 1 cm. This effect of impregnation on the ability to filter oil and oil products is observed for almost all the studied types of soils.
