Preferred Abstract (Original):
In this study we
have investigated the efficiency of surfactants and ligands on cleaning
artificially contaminated red, sandy and white chalk soil samples from
copper ion. Various concentrations of four different surfactants:
Triton, X-100, SDS, Tergitol and Tween 80 were used as washing solution
for remediation of contaminated soils. Different concentrations of three
different ligands (I- , SCN- and EDTA) along with nonionic surfactant,
Triton X-100, were applied as soil washing agents to desorb copper from
artificially contaminated soils.
