Abstract
In all studies that analyzed biodiesel pollution effect of this compound on animals and especially marine animals. Biodiesel (methanol and sodium hydroxide) as to be taken into account. Less emphasis is placed on biodiesel pollution of soils and waters (which can occur in the event of an environmental accident), which is considered a biodegradable product. But an accidental pollution due to the derailment of a freight train (August 12, 2020 on the CF line the Bucharest-Craiova highway, in the area of the CF bridge from Cârcea locality, Dolj county, Romania), confirmed the lack of knowledge in this field, as well as the way of depollution and restoration of the environment. This article describes how to pollute the soil with biodiesel, as well as the mathematical equations that describe this phenomenon.
