Abstract

The method of mass loss on ignition is one of the simple and perspective approaches for determining the quantitative content of oil hydrocarbons in contaminated soils. A significant condition for obtaining correct values is the complete combustion of organic
compounds of oil and oil products contained in the soil. The object of the study was oil-contaminated gray forest soils conditionally reclaimed in a laboratory. The initial oil content was 5%, 8.5%, 10% and 15%. The temperature and time of ignition are the main parameters of the method under consideration. The search for the optimal temperature was carried out by sequential ignition for 4 hours from 200 to 600 °C. For oil-contaminated soil samples the optimal temperature range is from 550 °C to 600 °C, and the ignition time is from 2 to 4 hours.
