Abstract
Oil sludge (so-called oil sludge) poses a special danger among oil wastes that have a detrimental impact on the components of the natural environment, in particular, surface and underground waters, soil and vegetation cover, atmospheric air. These are complex physical and chemical mixtures, which belong to wastes of III and/or IV hazard classes [1, 2, 3] and consist of hydrocarbons, mechanical impurities (clays, metal oxides, sand) and water.
At present millions of tons of oil sludge are accumulated at the enterprises of oil producing, oil refining and petrochemical industries.
They are generated, as a rule, during wastewater treatment, in the water recycling system, during construction of wells for hydrocarbon production, preparation of oil for transportation and processing, during equipment repair, tank cleaning, as well as in all kinds of accidents (spills).
According to some scientists [4], the total amount of oil sludge generated at the enterprises of the Russian oil industry per year is up to 500 thousand tons, and the resources of these wastes, located in earth pits, are estimated at 4,5 million tons, which is an extremely negative factor that has a significant impact on the environment. That is why the issues of treatment, utilization.
