Abstract:

Petroleum contamination in oil-field soils poses significant risks to both regional environmental safty and human health. The use of biotechnologies for the remediation of contaminated oil-field soils offers advantages such as ecological sustainability, economic feasibility, and high efficiency. This paper reviews the research progress on various biotechnologies used for the remediation of contaminated oil-field soils. By descrribing the mechanisms and methods of various bioremediation technogies, the study analyzes and evaluates microbial remediation, phytoremediation, and their combined applications with surfactants, chemical oxidation, and electrokinetic remediation. It also highlights the importance of assessing the effectiveness of bioremediation strategies. This study provides valuable guidance for the promotion and application of bioremediation technologies aimed at improving the quality of oil-field soils and restoring the ecological environment.

Key words: oil-field soils, petroleum hydrocarbon, biodegradation, combined remediation
