This investigation was undertaken to determine the factors influencing electrokinetic remediation of soils from petroleum pollutants. The remediation method was applied in two versions: (i) static and (ii) flowing, when a sample was washed with leaching solution. It was found that all the soils studied can be purified using this technique. It was also observed that the mineral and grain-size composition of soils, their properties, and other parameters affect the remediation efficiency. The static and flowing versions of the remediation method removed 25–75% and 90–95% of the petroleum pollutants, respectively from the soils under study.

This article discusses the rationale for the structure of the conceptual and terminological framework and categories of ecological geology, which has important methodological significance for its development. The authors consider their own ecological and geological categories and justify the logical structure of the concept and terminology base of modern ecological geology as a single integrated system.
