TREATABILITY OF MGP-SOILS WITH CLEANUP PENTANONIC

摘要

The treatability of MGP-soils with Cleanup Pentanonic was studied. Cleanup Pentanonic is a water-soluble and biodegradable product for the treatment of hydrocarbons in soil matrices. Tar impacted soils were treated with Pentanonic solution in batch tests. BTEX and PAH removal was determined for treatment in single and multiple passes and also for simulation of a soil washing process. Aqueous Pentanonic solutions were found to be more effective in removing BTEX than PAHs from the soils. The study shows evidence that removal is due to both desorption and chemical conversion of hydrocarbons.
