The use of the soil lysimeters for migration modeling of oil and its transformation products

It is shown the possibility of soil lysimeters use for migration modeling of oil and its transformation products at observance of monoliths geometrical proportions, preserving their natural structure and humidity. Determination of total content of oil products, electroconductivity, optical density measurement in filtrate serves as a control for modeling migration of oil and its transformation products. The main hydrological features determination in the soil layers (horizons) after monoliths dissection reflects the change in the water-holding capacity with the increase in oil content soils. It is shown that crude oil can be a source of soluble salts (chlorides) in soils and filtrate.
