Study of Migration of Different Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Components in Soil

Xiao Nan Sun, An Ping Liu, Wen Ting Sun, Jin Shu

Abstract

This paper is about the migration of the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contamination, which concludes the migration rule of the TPH contamination through designing indoor soil column leaching experiment. Through researching the migration concentration of different components of TPH, experiment concludes that different components have different relative transfer abilities in typical soil, and the transfer ability has an inverse relation to the molecular weight and the ring numbers of aromatic hydrocarbon. The purpose of this research is to provide guidance to nonproliferation and remediation of the petroleum contamination.
