New laboratory techniques on soil decontamination

The paper presents a study on the possibility of electrical decontamination of soils
contaminated with liquid petroleum products. The study involves the
characterization of a soil type by: capillary, permeability, retention and
granulometry. Electrically polluting is done with the help of stainless steel
electrodes arranged radially in a vessel. The pollutant-diesel oil product was
characterized by density and viscosity. The experiment had a duration of one week
and determined the degree of polluting and the influence of polluting soil on it.
Also, the germinating potential on such a depolarized soil was verified.
