COMPOSITION, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR CRUDE OIL REMEDIATION

摘要

Crude oil-contaminated objects are remediated by mixing crude oil-contaminated objects with an aqueous solution including co-solvents, electrolytes, and anionic surfactants. The co-solvents are selected from the group consisting of secondary butyl alcohol and isopropanol. The electrolytes are selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride and sodium chloride. The aqueous solution comprises between 5% and 10% of secondary butyl alcohol by weight; between 1% to 8% of an anionic surfactant by weight; and between 3000 mg/L and 5000 mg/L electrolytes.
