Book Description
Remediation of environments contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has received tremendous attention in recent times, owing, in particular to their acute carcinogenity and persistence for long lengths of time, remaining virtually unchanged in some cases for years. According to one estimate, the total remediation costs for individual manufactured gas plants (MGPs) normally range in tens of millions of dollars, and that remediation of tar contamination alone incurs as much as 70% of the total expenditure [Luthy et al., 1994]. This study delves into the possibility of remediating an MGP site extensively contaminated with PAHs by using an ex-situ solvent extraction method. Various solvent combinations consisting of ternary mixtures of water and some water miscible solvents like ethanol, propanol, acetone and pentanol have been considered. A rigorous study to simultaneously optimize the solvent combination, soil-solvent ratio and mixing regimen has also been conducted. The viability of solvent recovery and solvent reuse has also been addressed.
