Use of humic acids to enhance the removal of aromatic hydrocarbons from contaminated aquifers / Suzanne Lesage ... [et al.].: En13-5/97-108E-PDF
"The objective of the present study was to examine how humic acids influence the behaviour of petroleum products in the saturated zone and to determine the potential for humic acid amendments to enhance the dissolution of aromatic hydrocarbons from diesel fuel. ... The study concludes that humic acid amendments are a cost-effective rnethod of enhancing the dissolution of PAHs from a diesel source. Humic acid can be recovered and recirculated for conservation and cost savings. The biodegradation observed required further assessment in order to be able to detefrnine its limiting factors. Such a study has been initiated and is also funded by GASReP. These initial results are encouraging and it is recommended that the results be further validated by field testing"--Executive summary, p. i-iii.
