The soil contaminated by explosive production wastewater was treated by washing using water as solvent. The effect of contact time and temperature, water/soil ratio and washing steps on desorption efficiency was investigated. Six kinetic modelsparabolic diffusion model, zero-order equation, pseudo-first-order equation, pseudo-second-order equation, power function equation and Elovich equationwere used to study the desorption kinetics of nitroaromatic compounds from contaminated soil to water. The eluent of contaminated soil before and after washing was characterized by UV-vis analysis. The results showed that the removal rate was fast at the initial stage and then slowed down after 60min. The desorption of contaminants from soil to water is endothermic. Washing with small quantities of water in high frequency is preferred when water volume is limited. The pseudo-second-order model can be used to describe the desorption process. Soil washing can remove most of the contaminants from the contaminated soil.
