“…Several authors studied at the laboratory scale different synthetic NAPLs for VOC absorption, especially silicone oils (Chiang et al, 2012;Darracq et al, 2010bDarracq et al, , 2010aDumont et al, 2012;Guillerm et al, 2015;Patel et al, 2016;Tatin et al, 2015), phtalates such as di-2-ethylhexylphtalate (DEHP) (Bourgois et al, 2008(Bourgois et al, , 2006, adipates such as di-2ethylhexyladipate (DEHA) (Hadjoudj et al, 2004;Mhiri et al, 2011;Monnier et al, 2010;Monnier and Falk, 2011;Vuong et al, 2009) or even ionic liquids (Camper et al, 2006;Ferguson and Scovazzo, 2007;Guihéneuf et al, 2014;Morgan et al, 2005;Quijano et al, 2011;Rodriguez Castillo et al, 2019;. To reduce the CAPEX related to synthetic NAPLs, cheaper waste oils such as mineral oils, composed of long chained alkanes (fresh and waste lubricant, biodiesel, cutting oil), have been also considered for VOC absorption (Bay et al, 2006;Lalanne et al, 2008;Ozturk and Yilmaz, 2006).…”
