摘要/Abstract

摘要： In-site soil flushing and aeration are the typical synergetic remediation technology for contaminated sites. The surfactant present in flushing solutions is bound to affect the aeration efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of surfactant frequently used in soil flushing on the oxygen mass transfer in micro-nano-bubble (MNB) aeration system. Firstly, bio-surfactants and chemical surfactants were used to investigate their effects on Sauter mean diameter of bubble (d_BS), gas holdup (ε), volumetric mass-transfer coefficient (k_La) and liquid-side mass-transfer coefficient (k_L) in the MNB aeration system. Then, based upon the experimental results, the Sardeing's and Frössling's models were modified to describe the effect of surfactant on k_L in the MNB aeration. The results showed that, for the twenty aqueous surfactant solutions, with the increase in surfactant concentration, the value of d_BS, k_La and k_L decreased, while the value of ε and gas-liquid interfacial area (a) increased. These phenomena were mainly attributed to the synergistic effects of immobile bubble surface and the suppression of coalescence in the surfactant solutions. In addition, with the presence of electric charge, MNBs in anionic surfactant solutions were smaller and higher in number than in non-ionic surfactant solutions. Furthermore, the accumulation of surfactant on the gas-liquid interface was more conspicuous for small MNB, so the reduction of k_L in anionic surfactant solutions was larger than that in non-ionic surfactant solutions. Besides, the modified Frössling's model predicted the effect of surfactant onk_L in MNB aeration system with reasonable accuracy.
