The DCR environmental remediation process comprises the utilization of Dispersing Chemical Reactions for the conversion of oily waste materials into finely dispersed solid preparations in order to annul the mobility of a liquid phase; the conversion of hazardous compounds into water-soluble chemical derivatives in order to eliminate the water solubility of said hazardous compounds;the physical or chemical bonding of water-soluble hazardous compounds to functionalized inorganic or organic macromolecules in order to form water-soluble derivatives of said hazardous compounds; the formation of large surface areas of coherent organic phases in order to increase the rate of biological degradation of degradable materials; and the conversion of coherent organic phases into highly reactive finely dispersed solid preparations in order to increase the chemical reactivity for chemical detoxification process The DCR process is most commonly used for the treatment of oily wastes associated with impoundment closures, the treatment of drilling muds and the conversion of waste materials into asphalt and waste-derived fuels
