Abstract
To enhance phenanthrene degradation in soil, the effects of four surfactants on the thermal activation of sodium persulfate (SPS) were investigated. Sodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate (C12-MADS) was found to stabilize SPS by reducing the generation of sulfate radicals from its thermal decomposition. Optimal conditions for the surfactant-assisted persulfate system were determined to be 5 g/L of C12-MADS at a temperature of 60°C, achieving an 89.80% removal efficiency of phenanthrene in soil. The presence of OH- increased the system pH and decreased the removal efficiency. These results demonstrate that C12-MADS significantly enhanced the oxidation of phenanthrene and improves SPS utilization efficiency, contributing to the development of an effective surfactant-assisted persulfate system for soil decontamination.
