Soil bioventing is one of the most popular modern techniques for removing contaminants from soil. It has recently emerged as one of the most cost-effective and efficient technologies available for vadose zone remediation of petroleum-contaminated sites. This book explains in practical terms how to carry out a bioventing program. It is an ...
The articles in this collection discuss genetic engineering, nutritional amendments, the introduction of nonindigenous microorganisms, and other bioaugmentation techniques for enhancing biological activity to promote remediation of contaminated sites. Included are laboratory and field studies of the biological processes connected with in situ ...
These articles focus on methods for optimizing the effectiveness of microorganisms for biodegradation. This volume includes discussions of the biodegradation and toxicity of PAH-, PCP-, PCB-, and BTEX-contaminated soil and aqueous sediments. Both bench-scale and pilot-scale studies deal with microbial issues such as surfactant-enhanced aromatic ...
The articles in this collection describe characterization and monitoring methods for measuring, tracking, and evaluating the biological degradation of environmental contaminants. Included are discussions of methods for monitoring petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradation in soils and evaluating field-scale treatability, shoreline bioremediation, ...
Encyclopedic in scope, this new book presents state-of-the-art methods and techniques demonstrating new applications for biotechnology to remediate contaminated sites. Researchers and practitioners world-wide share their collective evidence to demonstrate how biotechnology works, both alone and in combination with other remediation techniques. ...
This volume includes laboratory studies, field demonstrations, and aeration-related technologies that support remediation at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. The relationship of site characteristics (soil temperatures and permeability, availability of nutrients, etc) to the rate of contaminant degradation is addressed, and ways to enhance natural ...
This volume emphasizes pilot- and field-scale applications of bioremediation technology for petroleum hydrocarbon and chlorinated solvent contamination. Described are a variety of biological process units used to treat hazardous waste aerobic bioreactors, fluidized-bed reactors, fixed-film bioreactors for chlorinated solvent treatment, rotating ...
This volume focuses on biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds in soil and aqueous environments. Articles discuss the bioremediation of media contaminated with PAHs, PCBs, PCP, pesticides, explosives, bis(2)-ethyl-hexyl-phthalate, pharmaceutical residues, and alkylpyridines. Also covered is the variation of nutrient supplies for optimizing ...
An international group of researchers and engineers discuss using natural attenuation to degrade contaminants and thereby remediate soils and groundwater. This volume describes laboratory studies and field demonstrations in support of subsurface remediation at military, manufactured gas plant, landfill, petroleum spill, and other sites. The ...
These articles discuss aerobic and anaerobic biological degradation for dehalogenating sites contaminated with pesticides and chlorinated solvents. Bench-and field-scale studies are described, as are microcosm studies, numerical simulations, and site characteristics and their effect on the stability of methanotrophic community. Methods discussed ...
