Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons-Contaminated Soil by Proxy-Acid Method
Authors: Reza Samsami
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by proxy-acid method. The amounts of PAHs were determined in a silty-clay soil sample of an aged oil refinery field in Abadan, Iran. Proxy-acid treatment method was investigated. The results have shown that the proxy-acid system is an effective method for degradation of PAHs. The results also demonstrated that the number of fused aromatic rings have not significant effects on PAH removal by proxy-acid method. The results also demonstrated that the number of fused aromatic rings have not significant effects on PAH removal by proxy-acid method.Keywords: proxy-acid treatment, silty-clay soil, PAHs, degradation
