Behavior of PCBs and Dioxins during Thermal Remediation of Contaminated Soil Containing Waste

Thermal Remediation of Tar-Contaminated Soil and Oil-Contaminated Gravel

Pilot plant studies were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of remediation of coal tarcontaminated soil and oil-contaminated gravel by incineration with environmentally acceptable performance. In addition to adequate decontamination and emission control, effort was devoted to treating the special feedstocks with difficult handling properties by use of conventional combustion and feeding sy...

Remediation of MTBE Contaminated Water and Soil

As the number of leaking underground fuel tank sites with MTBE contamination continues to grow, there is a need to develop cost-effective solutions for treatment of soil and water contamination. MTBE poses special challenges due to its physicochemical properties, in particular high solubility and low Henry’s constant, low affinity for sorption, and very slow rate of microbial degradation. Advan...

Bioremediation of a Drilling Waste-Contaminated Soil; Biotreatability Assessment and Microcosm Optimization for Developing a Field-Scale Remediation Process

Background: Petroleum drilling and exploration operations generate a significant amount of oily wastes. Comparing with physical and chemical remediation methods, bioremediation is cost-effective, highly efficient, and environment-friendly technology.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate biological treatment efficiency for an oil-contaminated s...
