Physical methods, like soil washing, use water to separate or remove contaminants; Bioremediation. Bioremediation is the use of biological processes to degrade, transform, or essentially remove contaminants from soil and water. This process relies on micro-organisms including bacteria and/or fungi, which use the contaminant as a food source.
Soil Remediation Types and Techniques Used Soil remediation, which is sometimes also called soil washing, is a term used for various processes used to decontaminate soil. Healthy soil is better able to grow vegetation, as well as contributing to healthy air and groundwater. There are a number of different processes for soil remediation, each employing
Soil washing has been widely used together with other remediation techniques to increase the overall removal efficiency of hydrophobic pollutants. In this study, the combined effects of soil washing followed by the electro-Fenton process were investigated. A loamy soil contaminated with fluorene
