Practice Periodical of Hazardous, Toxic,
and Radioactive Waste Management
The Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste publishes peer-reviewed original articles on all aspects of research, planning, development and management of hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW). These include the traditional areas of research, design, control, restoration/remediation, construction, planning, detection/analysis, oversight, operations, regulations and policy. The Journal offers articles with both fundamental research and practical approaches/solutions to the problems and challenges faced by engineers, scientists, process managers, practicing professionals, researchers, contractors, and government policymakers.

Issue Date: October 2010
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals are environmental concerns and must be removed to acceptable levels. This paper evaluates different flushing agents to enhance the remediation of soil contaminated with PAHs and heavy metals at a former manufactured gas plant site. Four flushing column tests at a constant hydraulic gradient of 1.2 were conducted using four different flushing agents, which included deionized water, chelant (0.2 M EDTA), surfactant (5% Igepal CA-720), and cyclodextrin (10% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin or HPCD). Additional column tests using Igepal and HPCD at a lower hydraulic gradient of 0.2 were conducted to investigate the effects of rate-limited desorption or solubilization of PAHs. Read more...
