The natural paly gorskite modified was as reactive media of PRB. Based on the investigation of effect of specific hydro chemical factors, such as Fe2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, NO3-, SO42- etc.,on remediation efficiency of petroleum contaminated groundwater, the dynamics, isothermal adsorption model and characterization of reactive media were studied. The results showed that the effect of purifying TPH with the...
