The problem of the oil-contaminated geo-environment and ways to solve it by K. L. Chertes, V. N. Pystin, O. V. Tupitsyna, I. M. Evgrafova

“…At the same time, the contamination “trapped” in the pores and capillaries of the soil was transferred to a free state, followed by outflow into the drainage, interception of the contaminated liquid and its rise to the surface for subsequent cleaning.Conclusions. Taking into account the importance of the problem, the authors developed and introduced into construction practice a set of technologies that allow for the removal of hydrocarbon-containing pollutants in the territories of reconstructed and liquidated facilities of the oil complex, without extracting soils from recesses.…”

Study of the mechanism of photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide in the presence of synthetic zeolite by V. I. Loganina, A. D. Ryzhov, I. A. Pronin, A. A. Karmanov, N. D. Yakushova

“…It was revealed that the optical band gap of zinc oxide in combination with synthetic zeolite is 2.96 and 2.70 eV, which is significantly less than the value of 3.37 eV characteristic of zinc oxide.Conclusions. To impart self-cleaning properties to lime coatings, it is proposed to introduce zinc oxide into the formulation of the photocatalyst together with an additive based on synthetic zeolite.…”
