Clean up of Contaminated Soil of Raudhatain Oil Field Using Soil Washing Mechanism
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Major oil spills and soil contaminations attracts the attention of its great effects on the Environment elements water, soil and air important part of the spill is to reduce the risk of oil spills, time and effort is highly appreciated in clean up procedures. In march 10 1991 more than 700 oil wells have been damage by Iraqi troops in Kuwait,71,428,571 tons of oil expelled on land and sea of Kuwait .low cost of cleanup contaminated Raduhtain oil field soil was implemented the authors introduced and used washing the contaminated soil by date seeds technique. This work deals with the treatment of oil-contaminated soil, by using different concentration of date seeds. Soil washing is one of the sustainable technologies at present to remove oil from soil. From lab test, it seems to be an excellent way to treat contaminated soil. Samples of soil and wastewater were taken and analyzed in order to evaluate TOC concentration and removal value. The original TOC values of control water samples in (day 1st, day 3rd and day 5th) are (319925, 319896, 319680, μg/g) respectively. The experiment with 50g date seeds in (day 1, day 3 and day 5) shows the result are (275285.7, 98714.29, 91642.8, μg/g) respectively. Whereas with 100 g date seed with 100g in (day1, day 3, day 5) the TOC concentration is (289428.57, 249642.9, 71714.29, μg/g) respectively.
