摘要：The techniques of field testing of controlled electrochemical cleaning of soil from oil pollution and the experimental setup are described. The results of engineering-geological surveys of groundmass artificially saturated with petroleum products (used oil, gasoline) are presented. The processes of formation of zones of drying, accumulation of petroleum products in electroosmotic transport, changes in the structure of soil as a result of the phase transformation and dissolution of petroleum products are shown in detail. The phenomenon was established of oil coagulation in the pores of the soil when subjected to electric treatment leading to an increase of particle size of sand and clay components of the soil and contributing to its deactivation. The efficiency of electrochemical treatment of tight sand and clay soils was proved experimentally. Experiments confirmed the effectiveness of the integrated electrophysical control of soil properties changes in the process of treatment, and in combination with the previously established correlation dependencies – the possibility of the average assessment of the contamination factor change.
