Abstract

Sulfolane in soil is an emerging problem in oil and natural gas processing sites. This study investigates remediation of sulfolane contaminated soil through the application of soil flushing followed by UVC/H202/O3 and soil washing followed by four different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) including UVC/H202, UVC/O3, alkaline ozonation and neutral Fenton reagent. Results showed that sulfolane can be effectively removed from the soil using water as a flushing/washing solvent. Furthermore, sulfolane in the soil flushing/washing solution was effectively degraded by the following AOP treatment.
