Abstract:Petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil was treated by microwave-ultrasonic coupling desorption, with 1,2-dimethylbenzene as a kind of representative pollutant. The average desorption efficiencies were characterized by the reduction of soil quality and the increase of condensate quality. The results showed that the reaction temperatures increased significantly from 128.3 ℃ to 270.1 ℃ when microwave power increased from 200 W to 400 W at a constant ultrasonic power of 800 W, indicating the strong thermal effect derived from microwave. The heating temperatures fluctuated between 169.4 ℃ and 187.9 ℃ when ultrasonic powers increased from 600 W to 1 400 W at a constant microwave power of 350 W, indicating the weak thermal effect derived from ultrasonic waves. The optimal process parameters of loam soil remediation with the coupled ultrasonic/microwave were as follows: soil-water ratio of 20:1, ultrasonic power of 800 W, microwave power of 350 W, 10 min irradiation, and the corresponding highest average desorption rate was 77.28%, which was better than that with single heat source. In view of different soil particle size and organic matter content, the average desorption rates for different types of soil were ranked as sandy soil (88.36%) > loam soil (64.29%) > clay soil (52.61%). The optimal soil-water ratio was 10∶1, which was a comprehensive effecting result of the soil dielectric loss factor, specific heat capacity and permeability. The optimal concentration of soil pollutants was 8% for sandy soil, and 4% for loam soil and clay soil, which were the comprehensive results of single-layer/multi-layer adsorption of soil particles. Key words:petroleum hydrocarbons/ soil remediation/ thermal desorption/ microwave/ ultrasonic.
