Curing research on waste oil-base shale gas drilling mud was performed for optimal additions matching. Destabilizing experiments on waste drilling mud demonstrated that Aluminum potassium sulfate (KAl(SO4)2) played a best role of destabilizing effects when compared with FeCl3 and AlCl3 based on demulsification mechanism about oil-in-water type. Aluminum potassium sulfate emerged an impact influence on curing effects simultaneously when compared to sodium silicate, alumina, lime and complex Portland cement. Orthogonal test on curing waste drilling mud revealed that the optimal operation conditions of handling waste drilling mud was 4% aluminum potassium sulfate, 4% sodium silicate, 4% alumina, 4% lime and 16% complex Portland cement. Under this condition, unconfined compressive strength of the curing product was 1.80MPa, and lead leaching concentration cannot be detected after 7d maintenance. The curing mechanism was mainly the encapsulation of C3S and solid waste contaminated by mineral oil can be efficiency treated after breaking the interface of oil-in-water type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
