- Abstract:
-
To understand the variation of physical and chemical properties of oil contaminated soil, samples of soil from oil well fields was surveyed and analyzed. Contents of petroleum hydrocarbons and some physical and chemical properties were investigated. Results showed that contents of petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil around the oil well ranged from 0.08 to 71.49 g/kg, and the soil in the range of 0~5 m and 5~20 m around the oil well was polluted significantly. Water content, pH and the contents of nitrate N, available P, total K and available K in oil-polluted soil decreased significantly. Unit weight and the contents of organic matter and ammonium N in oil-polluted soil increased significantly. Petroleum contamination did not affect contents of soil total N and total P. In oil-polluted soil, petroleum hydrocarbons content was significantly correlated with water content, unit weight, pH, contents of organic matter, ammonium N, available P, total K and available K, and was not significantly correlated with contents of total N, nitrate N and total P.
