Soil Decontamination Using Electrokinetic Processing

1994
Publisher Summary This chapter presents a brief overview of the theoretical basis of electrokinetic soil processing, the results of some laboratory tests and engineering models, and describes experiences of some actual site applications. Electrokinetic soil processing is an emerging remediation technique with the capability to decontaminate soils or ...

Microwave-Enhanced Thermal Decontamination of Soil

Environmental Science & Technology, 1998
Results of bench-scale and pilot-scale investigations on the remediation of contaminated sand and soil using microwave energy are presented. Microwave radiation penetrates the soil and heats water and contaminants. Developing vapors are withdrawn from the soil.

Decontamination of radioactive cesium in soil

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2014
Agricultural soil containing radioactive cesium was decontaminated using an extraction method involving aqueous potassium solutions. Results demonstrated that the potassium solution could extract radioactive cesium from soil artificially contaminated with 137Cs, although extraction rate decreased as time after contamination increased.

Electrokinetically Enhanced In Situ Soil Decontamination

2018
Electrokinetically enhanced transport of contaminants is perhaps one of the most promising in situ decontamination processes capable of removing heavy metals and organic contaminants from soils, sludges, and lagoons. The significance of the technology appears to be in its projected low operation cost and its potential applicability to a wide range of ...

TRIGA Soil Decontamination by Electrokinetic Method

9th ASME International Conference on Radioactive Waste Management and Environmental Remediation: Volumes 1, 2, and 3, 2003
The experiment for removing cesium and cobalt from the contaminated soil around the TRIGA reactor in Korea using the electrokinetic method were conducted. To increase removal efficiency by the electrokinetic method, a device to restrain the pH increase in the soil column was suggested. An acetate buffer solution (CH3COONa+CH3COOH) was injected into the

Biocompatible metal decontamination from soil using Ageratum conyzoides

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
Metal pollution in soil is a serious problem among waste landfill sites and associated environment all over the globe. Amelioration of contaminated soil by plant bioaccumulation is an important strategy to protect the soil environment. Ageratum conyzoides is a common weed species that can grow easily in any contaminating site and bioaccumulate heavy ...

Microbiological Decontamination of Excavated Soil

1986
Micro-organisms have been used since time immemorial in the treatment of wastes, such as organic refuse and domestic and industrial waste waters. From this practice stems the use of microbial techniques for soil decontamination. The present article discusses the state of the art in the Netherlands and touches upon current and future developments in the

Soil Pollution and Decontamination in Spain

European Energy and Environmental Law Review, 2002
Summary: In Spain there is no legal framework that collects all aspects of laws relating to the environment. In the absence of over-arching legislation this article examines the control and remediation of soil pollution in Spain looking first at administrative law aspects — its concepts; the identification of polluted soil; registration of polluted ...

Decontamination of soil contaminated with petroleum grease

International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management, 2009
Contamination modifies the engineering properties of soil, thereby restricting its further use either as a construction material or as a supporting medium. Due to the scarcity of land, it becomes imperative to reuse the land for infrastructure developmental activities.
