Soil washing using surfactants Technological solutions for the remediation of contaminated sites. The low solubility of the components of the non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL-Non Aqueos Phase Liquids) in the unsaturated and saturated zone, limits the conventional remediation processes of aquifers by pumping and treatment.
Abstract A mathematical model of soil washing that incorporates the surfactant enhanced mobilization and solubilization of organic compounds was implemented using a finite difference compositional reservoir simulator. The primary objective of the model was identification of the contributions of the various mechanisms—water displacement, surfactant mobilization and dissolution—on the ...
01-06-2001· Surfactant soil washing was originally developed in petroleum recovery operations. Surfactants have potential for use in aquifer remediation of DNAPLs. Several factors can influence the efficiency of soil flushing with surfactants.
12-08-2015· The combination of surfactant enhanced soil washing and degradation of nitrobenzene (NB) in effluent with persulfate was investigated to remediate NB contaminated soil. Aqueous solution of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS, 24.0 mmol L-1) was used at a given mass ratio of solution to soil (20:1) to extract NB contaminated soil (47.3 mg kg-1), resulting in NB desorption removal …
However, repulsive forces between soil and fibers alone do not produce satisfactory washing results even at high pH. The optimum pH range for good detergency is 9–10.5. Builder and surfactant work synergistically to achieve soil removal, and the washing effect of the builder may exceed that of the surfactant.
soil was stored in the dark at +4°C to avoid biodegradation. The exact concentration of fluorene was measured since some fluorene might have volatilized along with the solvent [28]. 2.3. Soil washing experiments Brij 58, a non-ionic surfactant, was selected as the model surfactant in this study, as it has rarely been reported in the literature.
01-02-1999· Ex situ soil washing is commonly used for treating contaminated soils by separating the most contaminated fraction of the soil for disposal. Surfactant-enhanced soil washing is being considered with increasing frequency to actually achieve soil-contaminant separation. In this research eight anionic and nonionic surfactants were evaluated for the enhanced soil washing of three …
05-12-2019· Surfactant-enhanced soil washing has been used for remediation of organic pollutants for an extended period, but its effectiveness and wide application was limited by the high concentration of surfactants utilized. In this work, the efficiency of conventional soil washing performance was enhanced by 12–25% through the incorporation of air bubbles into the low concentration surfactant soil ...

Hence, soil washing systems utilize a wash solution, usually consisting of water, surfactant, and/or leaching agent, to extract and concentrate COCs as well as assist in physical size separation of the finer particles from the larger particle bulk material, thereby concentrating and reducing the contaminated material that must be disposed or further treated.
15-10-2009· The smaller the ratios of soil to water were, the higher the washing efficiencies would be. The existence of inorganic salts with the certain concentrations, such as Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+, could not influence the washing capacity of surfactants, but the excessive Mg2+ (more than 500 mg x L(-1)) could resulted in the precipitation of SDBS.
Surfactant screening for soil washing: Comparison of ability and biodegradability of a plant‐based surfactant with commercial surfactants. Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A 1998, 33 (7), 1249-1273. DOI: 10.1080/10934529809376787.
80) for the same washing process, finding that synthetic surfactants were clearly less efficient (40% and 35%, removal, respectively). Another experiment using a non- ionic surfactant Brij 35 showed removals of crude oil from soils of 93.54% in a surfactant-enhanced washing of soil contaminated with 50,000 mg/kg of crude oil [12].
This chapter aims to provide an overview of two related technologies that are still very much in the development stage: soil surfactant flushing and soil surfactant washing. The use of aqueous surfactant systems for the recovery of oil has been common for some years and certainly suggests the employment of surfactants for the remediation of soils and aquifers contaminated with hydrophobic ...
Soil washing is a process of transferring contaminants from the soil phase to the water-based liquid phase and it has been used extensively.

The washing solution was enriched with surfactant Tween 80 at different concentrations, higher than the critical micellar concentration (CMC). The impact of soil washing was evaluated on the hydrocarbons concentration in the leachates collected at the bottom of the soil columns. These eluates were then studied for their degradation potential by EF treatment.
Soil remediation requires technologies to restore contaminated soil to a state that is environmentally acceptable. In most cases, while the soil can be remediated the contaminant itself cannot be reclaimed. However, ex situ soil washing with an aqueous solution of a surfactant …

In this review, the considerations for a surfactant-enhanced soil washing, and the mechanism for the removal of different types of contaminants from soils are summarized and discussed, with purposes of providing an overview of the influence of surfactants' properties on the remediation process and the interactions between soil contaminants and surfactant-containing eluents.
Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, ing agents, or dispersants.. The word "surfactant" is a blend of surface-active agent, coined c. 1950.. Agents that increase surface tension are "surface active" in ...
