Abstract: |
In order to better use the traditional Fenton reaction to remediate petroleum contaminated soils, a simulated petroleum-contaminated soil(light silty loam soil) was used to examine removal efficiency of the petroleum by Fenton reaction modified with chelating agents in a laboratory. Four chelating agents and their rates and [H2O2]/[Fe3+] ratios were assessed using a orthogonal L8(4×24) design. After a 48 h′s Fenton reaction, removal percentages of petroleum hydrocarbon were 41.5%, 30.6%, 27.6% and 25.3% for chelating agents β-cyclodextrin, sodium oxalate, disodium EDTA and sodium citrate, respectively, compared to a 13.6% removal efficiency in the control without chelating agents. Higher rates of chelating agents or oxidants yielded greater removal of normal-alkanes with carbon atomic number less than 21. Removal of pristane, phytane and iso-alkanes with iC17 to iC18 was also enhanced by chelating agents-modified Fenton reaction. The findings indicate that the modified Fenton oxidation with β-cyclodextrin could be used to effectively remove petroleum from soils. |
