  • Experiment was undertaken for ex site-bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil which comes from Dagang oilfield, whether the exogenous microbes accelerate the rate of the bioremediation or not is studied and the impact factors on the biodegradation of the petroleum-contaminated soil were investigated too. The collected soil were divided into two groups then mixed, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH) was 8 416, 16 385 mg/kg respectively. The TPH of the soil was monitored during the treatment and the influence factors such as indigenous consortium, bio-stimulating, different exogenous microbe, bulk agent (sawdust), the varied initial TPH of the soil were investigated. The components changes of the bio-treated oil and the untreated oil were analyzed by GC-MS. The experiment was lasted for 300 d. When the water content of the soil is given, the exogenous microorganism can speed up the biodegradation of the petroleum greatly, and the reduction ratio of TPH reached to 79% with the combination of the exogenous microbe and bulk agent. The results of GC-MS show that the alkane can be better metabolized by microorganisms when their molecular weight are less than C28 and the microbes can biodegradate the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon efficiently.

  • Iron removal in the oil field produced water and effect of iron mass concentration in the outlet water on turbidity were explored by addition alkali process. Iron contents were determined by 1,10-phenanthroline spectrophotometry and portable turbidimeter was adopted at the determination of turbidity. Results show that pH of inlet water has significant effects on iron removal, turbidity reduce and anti-corrosion of treatment devices. Iron removal is bad and corrosion of treatment device could not be restrained when pH is below 7, which resulted in negative iron removal rate. Better pH is about 8.3 where iron removal and anti-corrosion of treatment devices are attained. And the quality of outlet water can meet the A1 quality standards of recommended indexes in SY/T5329-94 about the injection water quality for clastic rock oil fields, and its turbidity keep invariablenes at a dwell time of 2.5 h. However, outlet water turidity at 6.6 and 7.3 of pH rose gradually because of Fe(OH)2 oxidation. Coagulant can promote Fe(OH)2 settlement and major removal mechanisms of Fe(OH)2 include settlement, interception based on filtration and adsorption from theoretical analysis. At a low pH, electrochemical corrosion made treatment devices release iron which induces outlet iron contents above inlet iron contents. On the contrary, at a high pH, it is blockaded owing to protective layer formation and cathode reaction suppressed.
