Migration of oil and its components along the profile of high-moor peat soil under model experimental conditions

It was found in a model experiment that high-moor peat has a high sorption capacity for oil, as well as for its most migration-capable components (aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives). Benzene was more involved in migration with water than phenol, which can be related to the formation of mol...

Summary:It was found in a model experiment that high-moor peat has a high sorption capacity for oil, as well as for its most migration-capable components (aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives). Benzene was more involved in migration with water than phenol, which can be related to the formation of molecular complexes with fulvic acids. The results obtained agree with the low contamination of surface waters near oil spills in high-moor peatlands.
