The two DOMs were inefficient in soil washing which might be attributed to the relatively weak effect of π-π interactions in releasing PAHs from the soil. Interaction mechanisms between pyrene and the bio-based surfactants were elucidated with MCR-AR, which resolved three spectroscopically active species from pyrene emission spectra as a ...

The principle of the soil washing process is to use an appropriate cleaning agent to weaken the surface tension of the contaminated soil to separate the Cs from it. The key factor in determining the efficiency of decontamination is the wash water. Decontamination using acidic wash water is highly efficient when using water but this …

Even in the most recent work on soil flushing, research has focused mainly on the effectiveness of pollutant removal, most often using a variety of conventional washing agents (WAs) 16,17,20,21 ...

The highest removal rate (91%) was achieved for soil washing with mixed surfactant for 90 minutes. The effect of washing time was more or less the same for soil washing with tap water. It could be concluded that in remediation of coarse-grained soil, washing process could be efficiently done within 30 minutes.

Batch soil washing experiments performed on 1.0 g portions of the spiked soil using 0.05 M chelating agents at a solid:liquid ratio of 1:25 showed that washing efficiencies varied in the order ...

One of the most effective remediation methods is surfactant-enhanced soil washing (Liu et al., 2021a). Ayele et al. (2020) applied surfactant-enhanced soil washing for the remediation of diesel-contaminated soils by using response surface methodology. They obtained the optimum variability level at a washing time of 90 min and a pH of 10.

Remediation of PAHs contaminated soil using a sequence of soil washing with biosurfactant produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PF2 and electrokinetic oxidation of desorbed solution, effect of electrode modification with Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 379 (2019), p.

Soil washing method is a remediation technique used to remove contaminants from the soil. This process involves the use of water or other solvents to extract contaminants from the soil, followed ...

Soil washing is widely considered as a common method of soil remediation. This study examined the developments in soil washing during the past 20 years via a …

For lightly worn delicates, for example, wash the clothes using a low soil level setting. For heavier fabrics like jeans, jackets or bedding, use a medium to high soil level setting. Heavily soiled items with visible dirt or grass stains, such as dog beds or dog blankets with pet stains and odors, should be washed using a high soil level setting.

The efficiency of soil washing was highest when using Brij 30 with the highest solubilizing ability for phenanthrene and low adsorption onto soil. In the selective adsorption step, surfactant recovery was quite effective for all surfactants ranging from 85.0 to 89.0% at 1 g L −1 of activated carbon (Darco 20–40 mesh). Phenanthrene removal ...

These findings suggest that the two-step soil-washing approach using NH2OH·HCl + HS effectively removed Cu from polluted soil. This study demonstrates the potential of humic substances as environmentally friendly materials for remediating heavy metal-polluted soil, promoting green and sustainable applications in soil remediation …

Currently, soil washing techniques are mostly using co-solvents (methanol, ethanol) or surfactants to achieve sufficient solubilization of hydrophobic compounds. But this can be a regulatory concern as those molecules can represent a health or environment hazard. Attempts to increase the solubility of recalcitrant organic contaminants have been ...

The following are key considerations associated with applying soil washing: Contaminants in soils containing a large fraction of clay and silts may not be treated effectively using soil washing,... Heterogeneous …

Soil washing did not worsen groundwater contamination during the study period. But the concentration of Cd in groundwater was higher than the limit value of Standard concentrations for Groundwater IV. This study suggests that soil washing using FeCl 3 and MC for the remediation of multi-metal contaminated soil is potential …
