Effects of Physico-chemical Parameters and Acid Rain Water on the Mobility of PAHs from Coal Tar
Abstract:In this study coal tar from the coking process was exposed to acid rain water at various solid/liquid ratios, temperatures and time. It was found that a ratio of 5/95 suitable for maximum mobilization of PAHs; although there was no consistent trend of the effect temperature, it was however, evident that better mobilization of PAHs was achieved above room temperature (25℃); the maximum mobilization of PAHs was achieved at 45℃. Naphthalene was the most abundant PAH in the leachate while Benzo(a) pyrene which is … Show more
