Abstract

The goal of present study is to evaluate the potential of soil washing for removing metal contaminants from a contaminated soil. Remediation of a soil contaminated with copper, cadmium and phenol were performed by a soil washing using a biosurfactant. The removal of copper, cadmium and phenol from soil (sandy, kaoline, mixed one) was evaluated as a function of biosurfactant (wt %) concentration in the batch process. The results showed that overall rejection coefficient for copper, cadmium and phenol were grater than 50 %, 25 %, respectively.
