ABSTRACT:
Simply stated, in the process of the present invention a hydrocarbon contaminated substrate, such as a hydrocarbon contaminated soil, is separated preferably by wet-sieving, into a coarse fraction and a fines fraction. Thereafter, the coarse fraction is subjected to a floatation process to remove hydrocarbon contaminants from it and the fines fractions is treated with a hydrocarbon solvent followed by an aqueous solution of a surfactant to remove hydrocarbon contaminants from it.
