ANALYSIS OF PHYTOREMEDIATION PROCESS OF OIL-CONTAMINATED SOIL WITH USE OF PEAT AND DIATOMITE IMPROVER

Abstract

In connection with the development of the oil production and processing complex, the problem of oil
and oil products pollution is quite relevant. Selfremediation of oil-contaminated ecosystems proceeds very slow, and in addition, the bulk of oil
production is concentrated in northern regions, the
ecosystem of which is very sensitive to any anthropogenic impact. Thus, the conducted studies makes
it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the influence of experimental samples of peat-diatomite
meliorant on the process of destruction of petroleum products.
The study enables also to trace an increase in the
content of total forms of potassium during the active phase of destruction of petroleum products,
which may indicate that potassium is a product of
the decomposition of petroleum products.
