Resumen
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous petroleum-derived pollutants that tend to accumulate in soils and sediments. Among the in situ chemical oxidation technologies applied at PAH-contaminated sites are Fenton reagent (FN), persulfate ion (PS) and permanganate ion (PM). The natural phytoplankton of an aquatic environment is useful as a biological indicator of the treatment efficacy of pollutant degradation. The objective of this work was to assess the use of an algal species, native from Los Barreales Reservoir (Argentina), as an efficacy indicator of the chemical remediation of PAH-contaminated soils and sediments. Oxidations with FN, PS or PM were carried out on soils and sediments previously contaminated with two types of PAHs (phenanthrene (Ph) or Benzo(a)anthracene (Ba)), analysing pH, residual oxidant, PAH degradation and heterotrophic bacteria abundance in soils or sediments after 7 days. Then, a bioassay was carried out by incubating the obtained soils or sediments, and the native alga Scenedesmus quadricauda (Turpin, Brébisson), analysing its abundance after 7 days. S. quadricauda abundance was related to PAH degradation efficacy, residual oxidants and changes in system pH. In this sense, the application of PS produced the lowest growth of the indicator in assays both with soils and sediments. Fenton reaction results varied depending on the contaminating PAH, with the best percentages of PAH degradation and growth of S. quadricauda for Ba. PM oxidation resulted in the best development of the indicator. This study constitutes a first approach to the use of S. quadricauda as an efficiency indicator of soil/sediment chemical remediation.
