Abstract: Activated sodium persulfate by hydrogen peroxide, sodium percarbonate and calcium peroxide were used to removal anthracene, pyrene, and benzoapyrene (PAHs) in soil, respectively. In addition, the kinetics and by-products in the reaction process of PAHs were investigated. The results showed that the activation effect on sodium persulfate was in the order of sodium percarbonate>hydrogen peroxide>calcium peroxide. The degradation rate of anthracene, pyrene and benzoapyrene was 96.8%, 93.5% and 96.8%, respectively, in the case of sodium persulfate activated by sodium percarbonate with the following condition: reaction time of 180 min, temperature of 25 ℃, soil and water both 5 g, and the concentration of sodium persulfate, sodium percarbonate in water of 1.0 and 0.67 mmol·g-1. Kinetic analysis indicated that degradation of PAHs by sodium persulfate activated by sodium percarbonate and hydrogen peroxide both were complying with first order reaction kinetics, and the vast majority of PAHs in the soil were degraded.

Key words: sodium persulfate, activation, PAHs
