With the development of ecological civilization and economic construction, remediation of contaminated soils has caused more and more concern of scientists and engineers. Situ thermal desorption is a mature and effective technology which is especially suitable for the contaminated soil of relocated chemical plant [1,2]. Compared with in-situ chemical oxidation and ectopic thermal desorption, the in-situ thermal desorption has stronger applicability and higher repair efficiency. The main applications of the in-situ thermal desorption technology are semi-volatile and volatile organic pollutants.According to the different heat transfer methods and energy conversion, the in-situ thermal technologies can be divided into four types: steam/hot air injection (SAI), thermal conductive heating (TCH), electrical resistance heating (ERH) and radio frequency heating (RFH) [3].(1) SAI transfers heat through convection by injecting water vapor or hot air into the contaminated area. The SAI technology is suitable for the repair of contaminated areas with good homogeneity and large hydraulic conductivity.(2) TCH refers to the transfer of heat from a heat source to contaminated area by means of heat conduction. The TCH technology is suitable for contaminated land with poor permeability or poor homogenization. The soil gas phase extraction technology need be combined with TCH to achieve remediation of contaminated soils.(3) ERH is based on Joule's law, converting electrical energy into heat to increase the temperature. This system includes power control facilities, electrodes, steam recovery facilities, and recycling processing systems.(4) RFH uses electromagnetic waves generated by highfrequency voltages to heat contaminated areas. However, low-frequency electromagnetic waves have stronger penetration ability. The low-frequency electromagnetic waves are often used in in situ repair.A typical in-situ thermal desorption soil remediation process may include heaters, off-gas collection piping, an offgas treatment system, and instrumentation and power control systems [4]. The heaters are determined by different types of the in-situ thermal technologies. The SAI technology uses steam generating device. The TCH technology uses thermal wells. The ERH technology uses electrical conductor, and the RFH technology uses electromagnetic waves. The offgas collection piping connects an array of suction wells to an off-gas treatment facility. Extraction pump, steam-water separation and off-gas collection piping composite the gas extraction and recovery system. The off-gas treatment system mainly includes gas-liquid separation, activated carbon adsorption and thermal oxidation. The adsorption and activated carbon adsorption are the main treatment methods for the remaining exhaust gas.The most important three factors of the in-situ thermal desorption are: temperature, treatment time and soil properties. The spatial arrangement of the thermal wells will also affect the heating efficiency and economic benefits.Temperature significantly affects the the...
