Using three typical nonionic surfactants (Tween80, Tween20 and Triton X-100), the solubilization of four kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) e.g. naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene and pyrene, were characterized. It was found that not only nonionic surfactants could enhance the solubilization of PAHs greatly in the range of concentration above critical micellar concentration (CMC), but also the solubility had the linear relationship with the concentration of nonionic surfactants. The effect of solubilization enhancement at three surfactants was Triton X-100 > Tween80 > Tween20. In the three nonionic surfactants solution the micelle-aqueous phase partitioning coefficient (K(m)) had very good linear proportional to the octanol-water partitioning coefficient (Kow) for the four tested PAHs.
