Abstract
The prospects for using new-generation energy-accumulating substances based on aluminum alloys activated with activating metals (indium, gallium, tin, eutectics of low-melting metals) as non-traditional environmentally friendly sources for hydrogen production from water and energy accumulation methods, the formation of various forms of aluminum hydroxides, are discussed, which can be used in solving environmental problems in the oil industry: in technologies for complex oil treatment, destruction of abnormally stable water-oil emulsions and oil sludge, demetallization and desulphurization of hydrocarbon raw materials, for the treatment of industrial waste, recycled and natural waters, as well as the reclamation of oil-contaminated areas with low and average levels of pollution, restoration of their fertility when used together with organomineral (humic) fertilizers.
