N2 - The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate the efficiency of the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method for removing diesel from an artificially contaminated soil using a supercritical carbon dioxide and an ultrasound. Compared with SFE, ultrasound-enhanced/assisted SFE (USFE) was able to provide a 14.8% increase in the diesel removal rate from dieselcontaminated soil at the SFE conditions of 40 °C, 16 MPa, 2 mL/min CO2 flow rate and 40 min dynamic extraction time, and the ultrasound conditions of 316W/cm2 and 20 kHz. These results showed that an ultrasound reduce the extraction time, the extraction pressure, the CO2 flow rate and the extraction temperature during the SFE process by enhancing the mass transfer from the soil to the supercritical CO2.
