“…In the present study, the sum of exchangeable cations, exchangeable capacity, and soil saturation with base cations were significantly diminished by DO and P. This effect was due to the negative impact of these products on, i.a., air-water properties [73,82,83]. According to Rasheed et al [84], soil pollution with DO and P may cause the loss of their elasticity and viscosity. In turn, Prasanna and Manoharan [85] ascribe this unfavorable effect to a greater pool of physical and chemical parameters changing in soil upon its pollution with these products.…”

Grass Elymus elongatus has a potential in phytoremediation and was used in this study in a potted experiment, which was performed to determine the effect of polluting soil (Eutric Cambisol) with diesel oil (DO) and unleaded petroleum (P) on the diversity of soil microorganisms, activity of soil enzymes, physicochemical properties of soil, and on the resistance of Elymus elongatus to DO and P, which altogether allowed evaluating soil health. Both petroleum products were administered in doses of 0 and 7 cm3 kg−1 soil d.m. Vegetation of Elymus elongatus spanned for 105 days. Grasses were harvested three times, i.e., on day 45, 75, and 105 of the experiment. The study results demonstrated a stronger toxic effect of DO than of P on the growth and development of Elymus elongatus. Diesel oil caused greater changes in soil microbiome compared to unleaded petroleum. This hypothesis was additionally confirmed by Shannon and Simpson indices computed based on operational taxonomic unit (OTU) abundance, whose values were the lowest in the DO-polluted soil. Soil pollution with DO reduced the counts of all bacterial taxa and stimulated the activity of soil enzymes, whereas soil pollution with P diminished the diversity of bacteria only at the phylum, class, order, and family levels, but significantly suppressed the enzymatic activity. More polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were degraded in the soil polluted with P compared to DO, which may be attributed to the stimulating effect of Elymus elongatus on this process, as it grew better in the soil polluted with P than in that polluted with DO.

“…Other scientists mention that the internal friction angle, unconfined compression strength, specific gravity of solids, cohesion and Atterberg limits decrease in the presence of diesel, but pH increases [9,11,16,19,20]. However, there are some authors that report other behaviors; for example, Atterberg limits are increased in the presence of diesel [22], and the internal friction angle is increased in the presence of kerosene and gas oil [15]. All authors show up the importance to keep doing investigations, and for that reason this study seeks to determinate the changes and effects in the mineralogy composition and geotechnical properties of clay soil by the presence of diesel, and there is a special contribution to analyze the effect of the test temperature because if the diesel presence is unknown the temperature is 110 ± 5 °C but 50 ± 5 °C, it has not been researched.…”

Diesel contamination in the soil may occur in different ways, and its interaction in the soil is uncertain and may have negative impacts. This paper presents the interaction between clay soil with moisture content of 30% and diesel content of 1%, 3% and 6% of dry mass. The soil is taken from Colombia to know the effect of diesel on the index properties (moisture content, specific gravity of solids, Atterberg limits), cation-exchange capacity, mineralogy composition and unconfined compression strength; moreover, the samples are tested at different temperatures considering if it is known the presence of diesel or not in the soil because the presence of diesel increases organic components, then if there is known the presence the temperature is 50 ± 5 °C but 110 ± 5 °C. The diffractograms showed that diesel did not affect the mineralogical composition in the exposure period of 7 days, but in real cases the hydrocarbon may be for prolonged periods, months or even years. Independent of the test temperature, there was an increase in moisture content and decrease in specific gravity of solids as diesel content increased. The Atterberg limits had an uncertain behavior by the presence of diesel and change in the test temperature. The cation-exchange capacity was increased by the presence of diesel independent of the test temperature. The parameters of unconfined compression strength decreased as diesel content increased. The research concludes that diesel effects over geotechnical parameters of the soil generates negative impact, and projects that have soils with diesel need special attention, so it is important to keep doing research where diesel has more time of exposition in the soil.

“…Salih et al found that UMO not only increases the PL but also LL and PI [38]. Rasheed et al reported that Atterberg's value of overconsolidated clay decreases by increasing UMO contents [11]. LL and PL decrease by increasing UMO contents [19,27].…”

“…Researchers such as Evgin et al, Khamehchiyan et al, and Ukpong et al studied the changing behavior of soil by considering the effects of crude oil [8][9][10]. Rasheed et al demonstrate that the PL and LL increase, while MDD and OMC decrease with the increase in oil percentage as an additive in soil [11]. e behavior of motor oil on cohesion and CBR was studied by Nazir who stated that cohesion decreases while the angle of internal friction v increases with an increase in the tendency of motor oil in soil [12].…”

Stability of permeable soils near large-scale water reservoirs for paved and unpaved road pavements is all too frequently compromised due to excessive seepage and the climatic conditions of that area. In this research, a multilevel research approach was adopted by conducting a comparative study of the microspectroscopy through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra to investigate the maximum absorbance correlation along with mechanical investigations (such as the compressive strength, modified proctor test, California bearing ratio test, and swell percentage test). The native low plastic soil sample (CL) was blended with varying percentages of petroleum additives (bitumen and used motor oil) independently at 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, and 20%. A comparison of results in the case of bitumen and used motor oil revealed that a decrease in Atterberg’s limits occurred accompanied by an increase of bitumen blending percentage, while used motor oil (UMO) increased the plastic limit. Maximum dry density (MDD) increases while optimum moisture content (OMC) decreases with the increase in bitumen. Used motor oil (UMO) initially (up to 4%) increased the MDD and subsequently decreased it. Investigative reports show that bitumen causes a decrease in swell percentage and increases California bearing ratio (CBR), whereas UMO causes a continuous increase in percentage swell and decrease in CBR. The addition of bitumen in soil resulted in a decrease in the coefficient of permeability (k), while UMO has a significant result of up to 4%. Regarding the control sample, spectrum analysis through FTIR effectively supports the laboratory results as the intensity of peaks increases with the oil, and bitumen concentration reveals that oil and bitumen impart cementitious property to the soil. Moreover, this research work by experiment supported and strengthened the idea of soil pavement stabilization through bitumen, which gives antiwater stability, and facilitates low-cost construction by obtaining raw material on the spot. UMO adversely affects soil properties beyond 4% addition by weight.
