Abstract EN

Petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in groundwater are among the most impactful environmental problems in oil production in southern Iraq, especially Basra city.

petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants affect related projects surrounding the primary pollution site.

Benzene, toluene, and dimethylbenzene are the most toxic pollutants affecting the removal of perchloroethene (Cl₂C=CCl₂) and trichloroethene (C₂HCl;) in groundwater.

these pollutants have high solubility in water, leading to their transport over long distances in groundwater and difficult removal.

the influence of petroleum hydrocarbons on the chlorine removal of perchloroethene and trichloroethene was studied using a polytetrafluorethylene column packed with zero-valent iron (ZVI).

Batch experiments were implemented to investigate the equilibrium supply of mixtures between the aqueous and solid stages in packed column systems.

it was designated using the Freundlich isotherm expression, and the result showed that R² was greater than 0.97 for benzene, toluene, and xylene.

the column study noted that the reaction constant was decreased in all columns by approximately 48 % when the pore volume was between 50 and 205, which reflects the dechlorination priority of P-CE over T-CE.

these findings indicate that benzene and toluene are more effective for adsorption on the ZVI particle surfaces owing to disparate influences.
