Utilization of oil-contaminated sands in asphalt concrete for secondary roads
Abstract The oil well sabotage during the Iraqi occupation and following the Iraqi withdrawal contaminated the Kuwaiti desert with crude oil covering millions of square meters. Thus, the desert has a huge amount of oil-contamined sand that must be cleaned up or treated in order to restore it to its natural beauty. The oil-contaminated sand was utilized to mix asphalt concrete in the laboratory to determine the feasibility of using sand contaminated with oil as feed stock in theproduction of asphalt construction materials. The products developed in experimental testing did meet international standards. The mixes were asphalt concrete of a quality that can be used for secondary roads, road beds, road subbases, impermeable layers for landfill and containment facilities, or as stabilizers for steep embankments. Gases emitted during the production of asphalt concrete utilizing oil-polluted sands are considered environmentally acceptable. Further studies are required to determine the feasibility of producing asphalt concrete from oil-contaminated sand on a pilot-plant scale as a means of utilizing the millions of square meters of oil-polluted sand.
