| Abstract | Understanding the processes of pollutants removal in soil remediation practices is crucial to apply the appropriate treatment method. Although widely employed in soil contamination events, the mechanisms of the Fenton reaction are still debatable. To investigate the catalytic performance of soils towards the degradation of p-xylene in Fenton reactions, we performed a series of experiments employing two soil samples with different physical-chemical properties, Oxisol and Alfisol. These soils were subjected to extraction procedures that separated the different types of pedogenic iron oxides (amorphous and crystalline) and produced soil fractions with different organic matter contents. We observed that Oxisol, which contains high amounts of amorphous pedogenic iron oxides, performed better in hydrogen peroxide decomposition and radical generation but worse in p-xylene degradation. These results originated from the presence of hematite in Oxisol, which has a lower catalytic activity than goethite, the pedogenic oxide present in Alfisol. Samples containing high concentrations of organic matter performed better in decomposing hydrogen peroxide but worse in degrading p-xylene due to the scavenging of active species by labile organic matter compounds. |
