- Abstract
More evidence shows that bioaccessibility instead of total concentrations based on exhaustive extraction methods can better reflect the actual risk level of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites, so it is essential to establish an effective assessment method for bioaccessibility. This study utilized Tenax extraction, butanol extraction, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) extraction, and a composite extraction method involving HPCD with LMWOAs (citric acid, CA) and surfactants (rhamnolipid, RL; Tween80, TW80; sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) at varying concentrations. These methods were employed to predict the bioaccessibility of earthworms to soil at different aging time of petroleum hydrocarbons. The results showed that traditional extraction methods such as Tenax 6h extraction and n-butanol extraction were ineffective in evaluating petroleum hydrocarbons' bioaccessibility. In contrast, the composite extraction of HPCD and solubilizer enhanced the extraction efficiency of HPCD greatly, and the extraction results showed a significant positive correlation with earthworm accumulation. By the comparison of the extraction results of different fractions of petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy fractions of petroleum hydrocarbons (C29-C40) are essential factors affecting chemical extraction effects. The correlation coefficients of four composite extraction methods and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) of earthworm accumulation by linear regression analysis ranged from 1.1797 to 1.7990, and the slopes ranged from 0.8727 to 0.9792. Among them, the combined extraction method of 50 mmol/L HPCD and 0.5 mmol/L rhamnolipid had the best effect (r2 = 0.9792, slope = 1.1797), which could be used as an evaluation method suitable for the bioaccessibility of petroleum hydrocarbons in soil. This study could provide a new method for evaluating the bioaccessibility of organic pollutants and technically supporting risk assessment and bioremediation of complex petroleum hydrocarbons in soil.
