Editorial Reviews

...this book is a comprehensive and worthwhile addition to the soil remediation literature, especially with respect to bioremediation. It should make a useful contribution to the libraries of researchers and practitioners alike.

Institution of Chemical Engineers Transactions

...Anyone interested in research or managing bioremediation projects will find this book extremely helpful and one that will remain within easy reach on the desktop...I would also highly recommend it as a text book for a graduate-level course on soil remediation.

A reference that provides up-to-date technical information relating to current and potential remediation practices, organized in five parts. It begins with the presentation of general engineering issues and the regulatory, ethical, and technical framework within which these processes are managed. It then introduces specific case studies in hydrocarbon remediation that offer a concise view of the many technological approaches possible in remediation. The following parts balance presentations of traditional and emerging technologies in remediation, with special attention to developments in bioremediation. Annotation c.
