Application of oil-slimes in road base and surface construction

Concerning the level of negative effect on the environment oil industry takes one of the leading places among the branches of national economy. Losses of petroleum, contained in waste, according to the expert’s research, equal to approximately 3% of its yearly production. With yearly oil production of 491.4 million ton in Russia annual volume of wastes generated may reach 15 million ton. It is worth noting, that the existing at present methods of oil wastes utilization are either too much expensive or, as a rule, entail irretrievable loss of precious hydrocarbon material. Application of oil-slimes as a secondary raw material is one of the most efficient methods of their utilization.
