Description
Summary:In order to study the change of the properties of petroleum contaminated soil, the samples of diesel contaminated soil with different degrees of pollution were prepared manually, and their basic physical properties were tested through the particle test, specific gravity test and liquid plastic limit test. The results show that the diesel oil has a great influence on the particle size composition of soil, and the diesel oil makes the content of silt decrease, while the clay increase obviously; the specific gravity of soil sample decreases with the increase of oil content, and it is smaller than the proportion of unpolluted soil sample; the influence of diesel oil on the liquid-plastic limit of soil is different, the plastic limit of soil decreases with the increase of oil content, and the liquid limit increases first at a certain oil content, it reaches a peak value and then decreases.
