APPLICATION OF FENTON’S REAGENT ON REMEDIATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONs (PAHs) IN SPIKED SOIL
ABSTRACT: Problem associated
with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminated site in environmental
media have received increasing attention. To resolve such problems, innovative
in situ methods are urgently required. This work investigated the feasibility
of using Fenton’s Reagent to remediate PAHs in spiked soil. PAHs were spiked
into soil to simulate contaminated soil. Fenton’s Reagent (H2O2 + Fe2+) and
surfactant were very efficient in destruction of PAHs including naphthalene,
anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, and benzo(a)pyrene from spiked soil. It was indicated
by the fact that more than 96% of PAHs were degraded in the solution and the
spiked soil.
