“…Yunker et al (2002) suggest that the occurrence of low molecular weight PAHs could be due to adsorption to soot particles, which protects these lighter compounds from being either washed out or bacterially degraded. Amellal et al (2001) showed through tests the preferential bacterial removal of the lighter three-ring PAH compounds within a short time span. The Oslo transect is the only set of samples where five-ring PAH compounds dominate (median: 44%), which is significantly more than in the other projects.…”

A laboratory study was conducted to remediate petroleum contaminated soils using microwave irradiation, and the traditional method of electric heating was also used for comparison purpose. The feasibility of the microwave irradiation method was evaluated in aspects of the reaction time, petroleum removal efficiency and energy consumption level. Meanwhile, the impacts of microwave irradiation mode and soil conditions on petroleum removal efficiency were also investigated, with a thermodynamic model of soils specifically developed. The results showed that microwave irradiation was better than the traditional heating method in remediating petroleum contaminated soils with less energy consumed. Also, microwave irradiation time, microwave power, soil moisture content and soil petroleum content had all imposed significant impacts on the remediation efficiency, and the results obtained from the model were basically consistent with the experiment results. Therefore, the findings from this study are of significance in real-world applications of microwave irradiation for the remediation of petroleum contaminated soils.

“…A major decomposition process of PAHs in the environment is microbial degradation [1,2] . PAHs are relatively persistent and recalcitrant in soils and are more difficult to be degraded than many other organic contaminants under natural conditions.…”
