Online first

Online first (OF) is the advance electronic publication of accepted articles that will be posted in upcoming issues. OF articles cannot be changed (including title, authors, etc.) or withdrawn (without regard to violation of publication ethics). Such an online publication differs from a traditional one in that it does not have fixed page numbers and is not tied to a specific journal issue. However, each such publication has a digital DOI identifier or EDN number for correct citation and is indexed by databases in the usual manner. That is, the article can be fully used in the lists of references and indicated in the reporting documents.

After the formation of the printed version of the volume, the missing information is added to the articles, but the URL address of the article and DOI or EDN number are not changed.

Advantages of Online First:

  • Reduces publication time
  • Provides quick access to the latest research results

Online First articles are posted in Russian and English as they are approved by the editor-in-chief and as the editorial process is completed.

When citing an Online First article, you must include the author's name, article title, journal title, year of publication, and DOI or EDN number. Example of the citation format:

A combined method for remediation of contaminated areas of the oil complex based on electrochemical treatment with the creation of a geochemical barrier

Article preview

The scale of the environmental problem associated with the pollution of vast areas of industrial zones in the oil industry is significant and requires the use of new technological approaches in solving it. A developing technology in this field is the use of electrochemical remediation, i.e., the removal of petroleum products and associated aqueous contaminant solutions from environments using low-voltage electric currents. The advantage of this method is the purification of both the surface fertile soil and the deeper soil layers. A current trend in the deve-lopment of electrochemical remediation methods is their integration with other remediation technologies, which increases remediation efficiency through oxidation or pollutant extraction, as well as significantly reduces the time required for remediation. This work is devoted to combining the treatment of oil-contaminated soils with direct electric current with the adding of the oxidizing component, calcium peroxide. The creation of a reactive geochemical barrier made of calcium peroxide in the interelectrode zone is proposed. This barrier will act as an inductor of oxidative reactions that promote the gradual mineralization of petroleum hydrocarbons. The formation of a directed contaminated electrophoretic flow moving from the anode to the cathode through a layer of calcium peroxide is simulated under laboratory conditions, and the characteristics of the purification process are investigated. The dynamics of such important environmental parameters as voltage, acidity of the treated medium, volume of the generated electrophoretic flow and the content of petroleum products in the solid (soil) and liquid (water) phases after cleaning are studied.
