Abstract

The treatment of soils contaminated by hydrocarbons is very complicated from the point of view that the soil must be decontaminated and recover its original characteristics as best as possible after the treatment that is performed. Therefore, from a sample of soil contaminated with hydrocarbons, samples of 2.5 kg of soil were obtained and the soil washing technique was carried out with a liquid surfactant for domestic use at a concentration of 20%, 15%, 10% and 5 %, to evaluate at which surfactant concentration a higher concentration of hydrocarbons is removed. The results obtained gave us that at 20% of surfactant more than 50% of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon is removed from the treated sample. Therefore, it is feasible to perform this type of techniques to repair the soils and recover them at a low cost.
