Surfactant-enhanced remediation is used to treat dichlorobenzene (DCB) contaminated soil. In this study, soil column experiments were conducted to investigate the removal efficiencies of o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) and p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) from contaminated soil using micellar solutions of biosurfactants (saponin, alkyl polyglycoside) compare to a chemically synthetic surfactant (Tween 80). Leachate was collected and analyzed for o-DCB and p-DCB content. In addition, soil was analyzed to explore the effect of surfactants on soil enzyme activities. Results showed that the removal efficiency of o-DCB and p-DCB was highest for saponin followed by alkyl polyglycoside and Tween 80. The maximum o-DCB and p-DCB removal efficiencies of 76.34% and 80.43%, respectively, were achieved with 4 g L saponin solution. However, an opposite result was observed in the cumulative mass of o-DCB and p-DCB in leachate. The cumulative extent of o-DCB and p-DCB removal by the biosurfactants saponin and alkyl polyglycoside was lower than that of the chemically synthetic surfactant Tween 80 in leachate. Soil was also analyzed to explore the effect of surfactants on soil enzyme activities. The results indicated that surfactants were potentially effective in facilitating soil enzyme activities. Thus, it was confirmed that the biosurfactants saponin and alkyl polyglycoside could be used for remediation of o-DCB and p-DCB contaminated soil.

Zeolite-polymer composite membranes have become promising and effective materials for the pervaporative separation of liquids, especially for isomeric mixtures. In this paper, silicalite-1/PDMS composite membranes have been used to investigate the separation of dichlorobenzene (DCB) isomers pervaporation for the first time. Silicalite-1 zeolites modified by the silane coupling agent, NH-CH-Si(OCH), have been incorporated into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).

Silicalite-1 zeolitic membranes have been successfully fabricated on the porous-AlOsupport by templated and template-free protocol, respectively, for vapor permeation separation of dichlorobenzene (DCB) isomers. After proving the high quality of the membranes by single gas permeation (He and SF) performance, the vapor-permeation of DCB isomers over two types of the silicalite-1 membrane was then investigated. The separation results clearly indicated that under the lower partial pressure and higher temperature, the effect of DCB isomer adsorption on the permeance could be kept at a sufficiently low level and sharp selectivity become more important.

MFI-type zeolitic membranes were prepared on the porous α-AO support to investigate the separation properties of dichlorobenzene isomers. The pervaporation tests were performed with unary and binary isomer mixtures at 333 K. The results indicate that the silicalite membranes, irrespective of being synthesized by the templated or template-free method, are permeable for all dichlorobenzene isomers.

Surfactant-enhanced remediation is less applicable for the treatment of dichlorobenzene (DCB)-contaminated soil. In this study, water solubility enhancements of o-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) and p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) by micellar solutions of biosurfactants (saponin, alkyl polyglycoside) and chemically synthetic surfactant (Tween 80) were measured and compared. Solubilities of o,p-DCB in water were greatly enhanced in a linear fashion by each of Tween 80, saponin, and alkyl polyglycoside.
