Biotechnological method of cleaning oil-contaminated soils

Abstract

This article provides a brief description of one of the modern technologies - phytoremediation, based on the rehabilitation of soils and water, polluted mainly by oil and heavy metals, and is a cleaning process, based on the use of the root zone of green plants (in this case, wormwood) with the simultaneous saturation of the soil biota with various types of oil-degrading microorganisms, isolated from the soils of the study area, and various heterotrophic microorganisms, the main role of which is to assimilate the products of intermediate oxidation of hydrocarbons.
