Abstract :
Laboratory experiments were employed to investigate the influencing factors of BTEX volatilization. Characteristic of BTEX compounds was critical factor of volatilization; the higher saturated vapor pressure, the greater volatilizing speed. Type and structure of underlying materials determined the volatilization kinetics mode, the influence of channel blocking and adsorption of soils was stronger than that of enlarge volatizing area. The volatilizing speed remarkably increased with increasing temperature. While the content and percentage of BTEX hardly made a difference to volatilization.
