Soil-washing performance was quantified using reciprocal surfactant-soil solubilization coefficients (1/K(d)). Two stages of partitioning were identified. In stage 1, the dye concentration increased slightly with increasing surfactant dose until surfactant monomers saturated the bulk solution at the critical micelle concentration (cmc).
2013-12-31 80) for the same washing process, finding that synthetic surfactants were clearly less efficient (40% and 35%, removal, respectively). Another experiment using a non- ionic surfactant Brij 35 showed removals of crude oil from soils of 93.54% in a surfactant-enhanced washing of soil contaminated with 50,000 mg/kg of crude oil [12].
Surfactant enhanced ex situ soil washing can o•er the convenience, e†ciency and economy desir-able for innovative and alternative soil washing technologies. Guidance in selecting surfactants to be evaluated in ex situ soil washing is important for the soil remediation industry; such is the focus of
2015-3-21 In this review, the considerations for a surfactant-enhanced soil washing, and the mechanism for the removal of different types of contaminants from soils are summarized and discussed, with purposes of providing an overview of the influence of surfactants’ properties on the remediation process and the interactions between soil contaminants and surfactant-containing eluents.

2020-3-8 Soil Surfactant Flushing/Washing. By David J. Wilson, Ann N. Clarke. This chapter aims to provide an overview of two related technologies that are still very much in the development stage: soil surfactant flushing and soil surfactant washing. The use of aqueous surfactant systems for the recovery of oil has been common for some years and
An increase in energy demand leads to further exploration, transportation, and utilization of petroleum, which creates severe soil contamination because of recurrent accidents and oil spills. Remediation of these contaminated soils is challenging. Among many treatment methods practiced for remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils, surfactant-enhanced soil washing has been widely practiced

2011-9-28 Surfactant soil washing The removal of individual PAH shows similar trend (data not shown); therefore the total removal ratio of the five target PAHs is discussed thereafter. Fig. 2a–f present the removal ratios of tests 1–6. Observation of these figures reveals that the first four factors, i.e., stirring speed, washing time, surfactant
The use of ultrasound as an enhancement mechanism in the surfactant-aided soil-washing process was examined by conducting desoption tests of soils contaminated with naphthalene or diesel-oil. The experiments were conducted to elucidate the effect of ultrasound on the mass transfer from soil to the aqueous phase using naphthalene-contaminated soil.
2008-6-15 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
Soil washing with surfactant helps in removal of NAPL’s.Although the use of surfactants to remediate contaminants in the subsurface is a relatively new area of application, their use in subsurface systems dates back to 1963 when petroleum sulfonates were patented for widespread use in enhanced oil recovery efforts [5-6].
The overall goal of this research is to significantly improve soil washing of oil-based drill cuttings and oil-contaminated soils. In past research within our institute we have demonstrated that surfactant-enhanced soil washing is more efficient and economical than water-only washing for removing gasoline from contaminated soil.
Reciprocal surfactant-soil solubilization coefficients (1 / K d), octanol-water partition coefficients (K ow), fractional organic carbon content of the soil (f oc), and surfactant concentration were correlated for the soil-washing process using a proposed surfactant-aided soil-washing model.

2020-11-28 The effects of surfactant types and the ratio of nonionic and anionic surfactants on the washing of diesel contaminated soil were investigated. In batch tests, the nonionic surfactant, which has HLB within 12-13, showed a high diesel removal efficiency and Tergitol 15-S-7 (T15S7) with 20 g/L concentration exhibited the highest removal efficiency of 79-88% among the tested nonionic surfactants.

In addition, soil-contaminant samples are used in the important selection of a surfactant and an aqueous surfactant concentration for purposes of the washing operation of our process. Soil-contaminant samples may be packed into a cylindrical glass column for a laboratory testing and selection of the surfactant.
