Surfactant LAS and nanomaterial taxoite were used to study their effects on anthracene desorption from artificially contaminated soil. The results show that the desoption of anthracene from soil is affected by the type and concentration of materials. Two type of materials with low concentration dont improve anthracene desorption from soil. While, they could enhance the desorption process with the concentrations increasing, especially surfactant LAS. The desorption and solubility ratios of anthracene from soil are 18.55% and 17.11% with the concentrations of surfactant LAS being0.2g/g. However, their ratios are only 3.91% and 2.21% with nanomaterial taxoite.
