The present study evaluates the capability of an activated-magnesium metal and protic co-solvents to promote the reductive degradation of three different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, specifically pyrene, benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that the kinetics of degradation was affected by

A new approach using aqueous ethyl lactate-modified [S,S]-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid (EDDS) washing solutions was examined in the laboratory for the simultaneous removal of phenanthrene, pyrene, and Cu from contaminated soils. Ethyl lactate demonstrated greater solubilization efficiency for phenanthrene and pyrene than
