Minimizing the environment Hazards Oil wastage

Quick increase of the scientific and technological revolution temps and influence of human on the nature becomes more and more powerful each year. A numerous toxic substances are emitted into the biosphere and that leads to undesirable effects . Every year about 30 billion tons of fossil fuels are extracted for satisfying of human needs, at the same time about 100-150 billion tons of subsoil are moved. During the further recovery processes the substation part of extracted fuels which are not the part of economic goods, becomes a waste. Although in XX century the negative influence of the waste on biospherewas smoothed by nature processes, in last decades the size of human activity leads to the edge of ecological disaster. One of the most polluting branches is petrochemical industry. That’s why, the recovery of oil waste is one of the most actual ecological problems Oil waste is one of the most dangerous component of natural environment. Oil waste is a strong polydisperse system that is formed as a product of oil, water and mechanical admixtures interaction.
Oil wastage
An oxidation of organic part of the waste by the oxygen of air and catalityc action of metals of this oxidation have a great impact on the formation of such system and lead to formation of resinous substances. The average oil waste consists of oil component (35-45%), mechanical admixtures (under 35%) and water (20-30%). The composition of oil waste may be various and depends on place and period of its formation. This circumstance may strongly complicate the problem of waste utilization. Considering all main world tendencies in petrochemical industry, it should be mentioned that Ukrainian oil refineries realize the closed cycle principle which means using waste as a raw in technological process.
