Abstract

PCB-contaminated soil was treated using the BCD (Base Catalyzed Decomposition) process to study the PCB removal performance of this process. NaHCO 3 was augmented into the soil to reduce PCB concentration. It was found that PCBs underwent partial dechlorination and PCB degradation, during which organic matter in the soil performed as hydrogen donors. Test results indicated that a PCB removal of 99.79% was achieved by this process.
