AB  - A new and promising technology is utilization of sonochemistry on decontamination 
      of polluted soil. The feasibility of this technology on treatment of contaminated 
      soils (synthetic clay, natural farm clay, and kaolin) was studied by using two 
      target persistent organic pollutants (POPs): hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and 
      phenanthrene (PHE). The soils were highly contaminated in 500 mg/kg. The 
      laboratory experiments were conducted with various conditions (moisture, power, 
      and time duration). The effects of these parameters on ultrasonication (as well 
      as the removal of contaminants) were examined. The reasonable moisture ratio of 
      the slurry could be in range of 2:1-3:1. The process did not change pH values of 
      soils. Experimental results showed that ultrasonication has a potential to reduce 
      the high concentrations of these POPs.
