چکیده

The mobilization and biodégradation of 13 PAHs sorbed in a creosote-contaminated soil were assessed in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). In a mobilization experiment, the soil was mixed with SDS solutions (0.005 to 1 % w/v) and the PAH concentrations in the aqueous phase were determined. In a biodégradation experiment, soil residual PAH concentrations were monitored during 45 weeks in the presence of 10, 100 and 500 mg kg" SDS. The SDS was effective in mobilizing threeand four-ring PAHs. Increasing SDS concentration resulted in the mobilization of very low water-soluble fiveand six-ring PAHs. The SDS (100 and~ 500 mg kg) significantly decreased the biodégradation of fluorene, phenanthrene and all of the four-ring PAHs. PAHs with more than four rings were not biodegraded. The surfactant [aC]SDS was readily biodegraded. Even if SDS may be efficient in mobilizing PAHs in soil pore water or groundwater, it will not improve PAH biodégradation. Such a result must be considered when using anionic surfactants in the perspective of biological treatment of PAHs. Effet d'un agent tensio-actif anionique sur la mobilisation et la biodégradation de HAP présents dans un sol contaminé par la créosote Résumé La mobilisation et la biodégradation de 13 HAP adsorbés sur un sol contaminé par la créosote ont été étudiées en présence de dodecyl sulphate de sodium (DSS). Pour la mobilisation, le sol a été mélangé avec des solutions de DSS (0.005 à 1 % p/v) et la concentration des HAP a été mesurée en phase aqueuse. Pour la biodégradation, les concentrations résiduelles de HAP dans le sol ont été mesurées durant 45 semaines en présence de 10, 100 et 500 mg kg" DSS. Le DSS a été efficace pour mobiliser des HAP de trois et de quatre anneaux. Une augmentation de la concentration en DSS se traduit par la mobilisation de HAP de cinq et de six anneaux qui sont normalement très peu solubles dans l'eau. Le DSS (100 et 500 mg kg") diminue de façon significative la biodégradation du fluorène, du phénanthrène et de tous les HAP de quatre anneaux. Les HAP de plus de quatre anneaux n'ont pas été biodégradés. Le tensio-actif [ae]DSS a été aisément dégradé. Le DSS pourrait être efficace pour mobiliser les HAP dans l'eau du sol: Open for discussion until I February 1996 472 L, Deschênes et al. cependant, il ne faciliterait pas la biodégradation de ces HAP. Ce résultat doit être considéré lorsqu'un tensio-actif anionique est utilisé en vue du traitement biologique des HAP.

Effect of a nonionic surfactant on biodegradation of slowly desorbing PAHs in contaminated soils.

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Brij 35 on biodegradation of slowly desorbing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was determined in contaminated soils. We employed a soil originated from a creosote-polluted site, and a manufactured gas plant soil that had been treated by bioremediation. The two soils differed in their total content in five indicator 3-, 4-, and 5-ring PAHs (2923 mg...

Effect of Co-existing Heavy Metals and Natural Organic Matter on Sorption/Desorption of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soil: A Review

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...
