“…Natural degradation mechanisms are often unable to degrade PAH molecules due to their recalcitrant nature, thus requiring a more aggressive chemical approach for successful remediation (Brown et al, 2003). An alternative is in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) (Yukselen-Aksoy et al, 2010;Akyol and Yolcubal, 2013;Doğan et al, 2013;Mahmoudi et al, 2013). ISCO is based on the oxidative power of chemical species, and involves the insertion of a chemical oxidant into the soil subsurface to transform groundwater or soil contaminants into less harmful chemical species (USEPA, 2006).…”

<div> This paper reports on a systematic study of the degradation of anthracene and phenanthrene in sandy soil treated with an aqueous solution of KMnO4. A kinetic model was developed based on the soil/solution ratio to predict the degradation rates of anthracene and phenanthrene. The degradation profiles achieved with the best dosage were also determined. The proposed model provided a reasonable prediction of acceptable residual contaminant concentrations. The oxidation efficiency was found to be higher than the value provided by the treatment in which the reduction of KMnO4 to MnO2 is considered to be the only reduction mechanism.  </div>
