Influence of Surfactants on Pyrene Desorption and Degradation in Soils |
|
| Authors: | S L Thibault M Anderson and W T Frankenberger |
| Abstract: | Four surfactants were tested at five concentrations to determine their abilities to solubilize soil-adsorbed pyrene. Inoculation with pyrene degraders in the presence of the surfactant Witconol SN70 was the most effective treatment for pyrene mineralization (46 to 80%) under unsaturated conditions, but the surfactant inhibited the effectiveness of these inoculants in soil slurries. |
