Abstract
The following paper presents some results of long-term research on the urgent problem of recycling waste products and their use in road construction. The studied new materials and technologies are justified by the developments of Tyumen Industrial University. The aim of this work is to prove the technique, checking the ecological safety of the road materials with the use of waste products. Research techniques and test subjects are quantitative chemical analysis and biological testing of road material samples with waste additives obtained during drilling and oil production. Along with the standard procedures for analyzing the contamination and toxicity of water extracts, the authors have proposed and tested the evaluation of repeated and long-term extractions, imitating the possible environmental impact of waste products. The obtained results showed the environmental safety of the road-building materials based on wastes.
Highlights
In the Tyumen region of the Russian Federation, having the most developed production and industry, the urgent problem is concerned with the processing and disposal of such large-capacity wastes as drilling waste - drilling cuttings (BC), oil production wastes, transportation and oil processing - oil sludge (OS)
The road construction engineering is a promising area for the recycling and use of wastes in construction materials and structures
In order to study the possibility of migration of toxicants from the obtained material with water into the environment in more depth, we carried out the experiment on obtaining aqueous extracts: the crushed sample of the material was kept in distilled water in the ratio 1:10 for 24 hours, after that the water was drained for analysis, the sample was divided in half and the first part was repeatedly filled with water for 24 hours, the second part was filled with pure water and kept for 7 days
Summary
In the Tyumen region of the Russian Federation, having the most developed production and industry, the urgent problem is concerned with the processing and disposal of such large-capacity wastes as drilling waste - drilling cuttings (BC), oil production wastes, transportation and oil processing - oil sludge (OS). The road construction engineering is a promising area for the recycling and use of wastes in construction materials and structures. Quite extensive research and implementation works are conducted in this direction [1-7], including the developments of the Automobile Roads and Aerodromes Department of Tyumen Industrial University [8-10]. A number of new road-building materials using waste, experimental design and technological solutions have been developed, patented and put into practice [11-13]. The studied waste belongs to hazard class IV, i.e. they are low-hazard, but toxic wastes, which requires mandatory testing of environmental (ecological) and human (sanitary) impact during their disposal, together with an assessment of the physical, mechanical, structural properties of the resulting materials.
