PROCESS FOR THE REMOVAL OF OIL IMPURITIES FROM WATER BY MEANS OF COVERING AND OXIDATION.

摘要

The present disclosure is related to a removal method of crude oil impurities from water in leaking zones by means of hydrocarbons coverage with a copper oxide fixed layer (I), oxidation with the organic peroxides and the subsequent removal or separation by magnets or decantation. The advantages of the proposed method are: high efficiency in the separation of oil/water mixtures (95-100%), using common reagents and the absence of toxicity for the environment.
