Abstract

The use of high power ultrasound in sonochemistry is well known. However, the use of ultrasound in environmental applications is still in its early stages. Soil contamination due to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is regarded as a serious global problem that needs urgent attention and a strong consensus has emerged within the international community about the need to develop effective remediation technologies for POPs-contaminated sites. Some early studies showed that the energy released by cavitation in a slurry helped in cleaning detrital clay and iron oxide coatings of silica and mineral sands of contaminated soil. Using the same principles, the objective of this paper is to study the effectiveness of using high power ultrasound to reduce tetrachloronaphtahalene (TCN) from sand samples at three different initial concentrations, 50, 200 and 400 ppm.
