Laboratory and pilot scale soil washing of PAH and arsenic from a wood preservation site: Changes in concentration and toxicity

Interactions of arsenic and phenanthrene on their uptake and antioxidative response in Pteris vittata L.

“…In fact, the simultaneous accumulation of arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are frequently found and extensively evaluated in several types of anthropogenic industry contaminated sites, such as coking & chemical industry site, mining and metallurgy industry site, lumber and wood production site, etc, even the urban residual areas (Lambert and Lane, 2004;Elgh-Dalgren et al, 2009;Kay et al, 2008). However, up to date, methods for remediation of arsenic and PAHs cocontamination are scarce to report.…”

Enhanced washing of HCB and Zn from aged sediments by TX-100 and EDTA mixed solutions

“…In a recent study, Zhang et al (2007) used mixed solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to remove marine diesel fuel (MDF) and Pb from soils, and showed that the presence of SDS alone or together with low concentration of EDTA increased Pb removal and with high concentration of EDTA hindered Pb removal. More recently, Elgh-Dalgren et al (2009) washed PAH and arsenic from a wood preservation site in laboratory and pilot scale with single and mixed additives.…”

Full Factorial Design of Screening Experiments for Biosurfactant Enhanced Remediation of Hydrophobic Substances in Soil

“…The opposite is also true, at longer contact times, the influence of the temperature level losses its importance. The positive effect of elevated temperature on soil washing has been reviewed also by the Reference [15]. The validation of the tests leads to corroboration of several practical observations.…”
