Environmental remediation technologies to control or prevent
pollution from hazardous waste material is a growing research area
in academia and industry, and is a matter of utmost concern to
public health, to improve ecology and to facilitate the
redevelopment of a contaminated site. Recently, in situ and ex situ
remediation technologies have been developed to rectify the
contaminated sites, utilizing various tools and devices through
physical, chemical, biological, electrical, and thermal processes
to restrain, remove, extract, and immobilize mechanisms to minimize
the contamination effects. This handbook brings altogether
classical and emerging techniques for hazardous wastes, municipal
solid wastes and contaminated water sites, combining chemical,
biological and engineering control methods to provide a one-stop
reference. This handbook presents a comprehensive and thorough
description of several remediation techniques for contaminated
sites resulting from both natural processes and anthropogenic
activities. Providing critical insights into a range of treatments
from chemical oxidation, thermal treatment, air sparging,
electrokinetic remediation, stabilization/solidification, permeable
reactive barriers, thermal desorption and incineration,
phytoremediation, biostimulation and bioaugmentation, bioventing
and biosparging through ultrasound-assisted remediation methods,
electrochemical remediation methods, and nanoremediation, this
handbook provides the reader an inclusive and detailed overview and
then discusses future research directions. Closing chapters on
green sustainable remediation, economics, health and safety issues,
and environmental regulations around site remediation will make
this a must-have handbook for those working in the field.
