A review of functions and mechanisms of clay soil conditioners and catalysts in thermal remediation compared to emerging photo-thermal catalysis
High temperatures and providing sufficient time for the thermal desorption of persistent organic pollutants(POPs)from contaminated clay soils can lead to intensive energy con-sumption.Therefore,this article provides a critical review of the potential additives which can improve soil texture and increase the volatility of POPs,and then discusses their en-hanced mechanisms for contributing to a green economy.Ca-based additives have been used to reduce plasticity of bentonite clay,absorb water and replenish system heat.In con-trast,non-Ca-based additives have been used to decrease the plasticity of kaolin clay.The soil structure and soil plasticity can be changed through cation exchange and flocculation processes.The transition metal oxides and alkali metal oxides can be applied to catalyze and oxidize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,petroleum and emerging contaminants.In this system,reactive oxygen species(·O2-and·OH)are generated from thermal excitation with-out strong chemical oxidants.Moreover,multiple active ingredients in recycled solid wastes can be controlled to reduce soil plasticity and enhance thermal catalysis.Alternatively,the alkali,nano zero-valent iron and nano-TiN can catalyze hydrodechlorination of POPs under reductive conditions.Especially,photo and photo-thermal catalysis are discussed to accel-erate replacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy in thermal remediation.
