| Abstract |
Evaporation of selected toxic volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons was studied in laboratory soil columns. The evaporation values were obtained for the ten volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons at two different temperatures (12°C and 21°C) from columns filled with silty clay loam and sandy loam soils. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, trichloroethylene and chloroform evaporated considerably (36.7~54.6% removal), carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, dichlorobromethane and dibromochloromethane to a lesser extent (15.3~39.3% removal), and bromoform evaporated poorly (<10 percent removal) at both temperature. Volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons concentration did not affect evaporation, no statistically significant difference in evaporation between the soil types was found. However, temperature affected evaporation, the effect of concentration on the evaporation was not conclusive. |
