Hazardous Waste Site Soil Remediation: Theory and Application of Innovative Technologies / Edition 1

by David J. Wilson

Overview

Introduces the most up-to-date techniques for soil remediation, including chemical fixation/stabilization, soil vapor extraction, thermally enhanced vapor stripping, biodegradation, and air spargingwritten in a style accessible to nonspecialists. Desc4ibes the ex shu technique of thermal desorption of soil contaminants-a low-cost aftemative to incineration for the removal of organics.

Editorial Reviews

This guide introduces recent innovative technologies for remediating contaminated soils and aquifers, for environmental managers and regulators and for engineers who are not necessarily experts in remediation technologies. The ten chapters address contaminant transport and behavior in the subsurface; problems with the remediation of diffusion-limited fractured-rock systems; chemical stabilization of contaminated soils; soil vapor stripping; thermally enhanced vapor stripping; thermal desorption; enhanced biodegradation for on-site remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater; saturated zone remediation of VOCs through sparging; in situ verification; and soil surfactant flushing/washing.
