The present invention describes a process utilized for the remediation of
soils and petroleum drilling wastes contaminated with hydrocarbons, which
consists in stabilization by application and mixing in specific
proportions of calcium oxides and organic conditioners. It is possible to
treat materials with concentrations of at least seven percent (dry
weight) of hydrocarbons petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and reduce the
concentration to 1-1.5% TPH. Furthermore, residual toxicity is completely
eliminated in the treated material, vegetative growth is stimulated, the
treated material does not present significant concentrations of
hydrocarbons leachates and it passes all criteria to be considered not a
dangerous waste (CRETI or TCLP).
