In this paper there are presented laboratory studies on the influence of additives in diesel fuels on accidental pollution of the soil. The additive used in the experiments was cyclohexanone ketal glycerol. The presence of hydroxyl groups in the structure of ketals of glycerol decreases the solubility of hydrocarbons. To solve this disadvantage and for improving other features, in order to use as additives/ components for classic fuel, the hydroxyl group of glycerol ketal methyl ethyl ketone was block by transesterification with methyl esters of monocarboxylic acids. The results obtained were compared to the content of nutrients (N, P, K) in the soil polluted with diesel fuel additives and diesel oil without additives. It was performed the soils decontamination by applying the method of solvent extraction. For ecological reconstruction there were used unpolluted soil samples, samples contaminated with diesel oil with and without additives and the resulting samples after the extraction with the solvents.
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.
