AI Technical Summary
Existing non-radioactive research methods are time-consuming and complex to assess the advanced oxidative degradation process of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and cannot fully characterize unknown degradation products and non-extractable products, leading to biases in the assessment of site contamination remediation effectiveness.
By employing carbon-14 radioisotope tracing technology combined with a radionuclide quantitative imaging system, the specific migration value and diffusion degree of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their advanced oxidation products on soil thin-layer chromatography plates are monitored through in-situ thin-layer chromatography, thereby achieving real-time monitoring and visual characterization of the advanced oxidation reaction process.
It enables an objective and comprehensive assessment of the parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants and all their degradation products, shortens imaging time, and can intuitively reflect the oxidative degradation process, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of the assessment.
