Destruction of PCB 44 in Spiked Subsurface Soils Using Activated Persulfate Oxidation

Abstract: The effectiveness of persulfate oxidation for the destruction of tetrachlorobiphenyl a representative polychlorobiphenyl (PCB), in spiked subsurface soils was evaluated in this study. Kaolin and glacial till soils were selected as representative low permeability soils; both soils were spiked with 50 mg PCB per dry kilogram of soil. Activation of persulfate oxidation was necessary to achieve effective destruction of PCBs in soils. As persulfate oxidation activators, temperature and high pH were used in order to… Show more

“…Natural degradation mechanisms are often unable to degrade PAH molecules due to their recalcitrant nature, thus requiring a more aggressive chemical approach for successful remediation (Brown et al, 2003). An alternative is in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) (Yukselen-Aksoy et al, 2010;Akyol and Yolcubal, 2013;Doğan et al, 2013;Mahmoudi et al, 2013). ISCO is based on the oxidative power of chemical species, and involves the insertion of a chemical oxidant into the soil subsurface to transform groundwater or soil contaminants into less harmful chemical species (USEPA, 2006).…”
