Treatment of oil polluted soil using electrochemical method
This paper aims to investigate the effect of soil contamination by oil on the geotechnical properties of the soil and evaluation of the feasibility of using electrochemical method for the treatment of the contaminated soils. The properties of contaminated soil samples by different proportions of lub...
