Thermal treatment can be an effective method for soil remediation, and numerical models play a crucial role in elucidating the underlying processes that affect efficacy. In this study, experiments were conducted to examine the low-temperature thermal treatment for removing n-hexane and n-octane from soil. The results showed that the removal of two alkanes followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Additionally, a quantitative relationship between kinetics constant and temperature was established. Based on experimental results, a simple mathematical model was presented via COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0. The processes considered in the model incorporated conductive and convective heat transfer, the vaporization latent heat, and the removal of organic contaminants which was quantified using an advection-dispersion equation combined with a pseudo-first-order kinetic. The developed model was first validated by a thermal treatment in a soil column, demonstrating conformity with the measured temperature and concentration values. Subsequently, the temporal and spatial changes in soil temperature and contaminant levels were evaluated for different heating temperatures. It was found that thermal conduction dominated heat transfer, whereas thermal convection caused by the migration of liquid water intensified when the temperature was higher than the boiling point. The completion time exhibited a correlation with the heating temperature. It was predicted that the time required to achieve a 90% removal efficiency could be shortened from 14 h to 9.5 h by elevating the heating temperature from 80 ℃ to 120 ℃. The study also investigated the impact of the initial water content on heat transfer. It was observed that the saturated soil showed the slowest heating rate and the longest boiling stage.
