Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper reviews current technologies for oil waste treatment and the remediation of oil-contaminated sites. Case studies include the cleanup of historically polluted soils at petroleum companies using EGX cavitation soil washing, BioBox bioremediation, conventional bioremediation, and humate-based composite additives with energy-accumulating properties. Results cover oil content in contaminated soils, residual hydrocarbons in remediated soils, and the volumes of restored soils, reclaimed areas, and decommissioned sludge pits.
