This work aims to investigate the competitive time-dependent desorption rate of heavy metals (lead, zinc, nickel) coexisting with phenanthrene from natural high buffering soil. Two non-ionic surfactants (Tween 80 and Brij 35) combined with disodium ethylene diamine tetraacetate salt (Na2-EDTA) were utilized as the reagents. The contaminants’ time-dependent desorption data was fitted with five kinetic models including parabolic diffusion, Elovich, fractional power function, pseudo-first and -second-order equations. The best removal of contaminants obtained by the mixture of Tween 80/EDTA; desorbing 93% of lead (Pb). The competitive desorption of nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) is affected by the stability of Metal-EDTA complexes. Moreover, phenanthrene removal in the soil studied was slow and laborious. The desorption kinetics are well described by parabolic diffusion (for phenanthrene) and pseudo-second-order (for heavy metals of interest). In the soil-surfactant-water system, soil structure changes were negligible; however, Tween 80 influenced the development of crystal faces of CaCO3 during the process.
