Abstract

The use of ultrasound to enhance the efficiency of surfactant-aided soil washing was investigated with a series of laboratory tests on diesel-contaminated soil. Test conditions included the power and duration of sonic energy, the surfactant type, and mixing time. The results of the study show that the use of ultrasound in the soil washing process significantly enhanced the remediation of the contaminated soil. The degree of enhancement varied with sonication energy, treatment time, and mixing duration.
