Abstract

Our purpose in conducting these studies was to examine photolysis as a destructive process for polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) extracted from soils with surfactant solutions. Surfactants have shown promise as agents for removing free phase and sorbed contaminants from soils, yet information on ultimate disposal options and recycle/recovery strategies for the surfactants is generally lacking. For arylhalides, photodechlorination may result in ...
