Surfactant enhanced remediation of soil columns contaminated by residual tetrachloroethylene

The ability of aqueous surfactant solutions to recover tetrachloroethylene (PCE) entrapped in Ottawa sand was evaluated in four column experiments. Residual PCE was emplaced by injecting 14C-labeled PCE into water-saturated soil columns and displacing the free product with water. Miscible displaceme...

description The ability of aqueous surfactant solutions to recover tetrachloroethylene (PCE) entrapped in Ottawa sand was evaluated in four column experiments. Residual PCE was emplaced by injecting 14C-labeled PCE into water-saturated soil columns and displacing the free product with water. Miscible displacement experiments were conducted before and after PCE entrapment to determine the influence of residual PCE on column dispersivities. The first two column studies involved the injection of a 4% solution of polyoxyethylene (POE) ( 20) sorbitan monooleate, resulting in the removal of 90% and 97% of the residual PCE from 20–30- and 40–120-mesh Ottawa sand, respectively. Although micellar solubilization of PCE was the primary mode of recovery in these experiments, this process was shown to be rate-limited based on: (a) the disparity between initial steady-state concentrations of PCE in the column effluent and equilibrium values measured in batch experiments; and (b) the increase in effluent concentrations of PCE following periods of flow interruption. In the latter two experiments, surfactant solutions containing mixtures of sodium sulfosuccinates removed >99% of the residual PCE from soil columns packed with 40–270-mesh Ottawa sand. Approximately 80% of the PCE was mobilized as a separate organic liquid after lushing with < 100 mL of these surfactant solutions. This study demonstrates the capacity of surfactant flushing to enhance the recovery of residual PCE from Ottawa sand and indicates that ultra-low interfacial tensins (
