Abundant, economic and ecosafe scoria was used to decontaminate groundwater contaminated by petroleum. This essay shows the response
relationship between its decontamination process and hydrochemistry factors. The main investigation hydrochemical factors included Fe2+,Fe3+,Mn2+,SO2-4,NH+4,Ca2+,Mg2+,NO-3,NO-2 and so on. The results show that scoria adsorb petroleum hydrocarbons (total petroleum hydrocarbon, TPH) in the water: it is not affected by Mn2+,SO2-4,Ca2+,NH+4, but affected by Fe2+,Fe3+,Mg2+,NO-2,NO-3. The Fe2+,Fe3+,Mg2+ and NO-2 have the inhibition effect on the adsorption of the scoria for TPH, while NO-3 has the promotion effect on the adsorption of the scoria for TPH. In the purification process of scoria for TPH, it can simultaneously remove all the ions. The removal rate of Ca2+ is between 42% to 56%, those of SO2-4,Mg2+,NH+4 are between 60% to 80%, while those of Fe2+,NO-3 are greater than 80%, and Fe3+,Mn2+,NO-2 are almost completely removed and the removed rates are more than 95%.
