This book addresses one of the most challenging problems that
plagues the environmental field today-subsurface contamination. The
past three decades have ushered in various methods for removal of
organic and inorganic contaminants from the subsurface to varying
degrees of effectiveness. Because of the site-to-site variability
in the nature of contamination characteristics, the pattern of
waste disposal and accidental releases, the site characteristics
and thus contaminant behavior, and hydrologic conditions,
predicting the effectiveness of one treatment method over another
is a daunting task. Field demonstration of innovative technologies
is a key step in their development, however, only after successful
scale-up from laboratory testing. This book features chapters
written by researchers who have linked laboratory- and field-scales
in efforts to find creative, cost-effective methods for prediction
of successful remediation of contaminated soil and ground water.
State-of-the-art technologies using physicochemical removal methods
and biological methods are discussed in the context of not only
their effectiveness in remediating organic and inorganic wastes
from various subsurface environments but also in terms of useful
flask-scale methods for measuring and predicting their field-scale
effectiveness. Chapters address sorption and hydrolysis of
pesticides by organoclays, use of Fentons agents to destroy
chlorinated solvents removed from the subsurface by granulated
activated carbon, methanol flushing as a means of removing
toxaphene from soils, natural attenuation as a method for
effectiveness of remediation metals and biodegrading acid-mine
drainage constituents, and biodegradation ofradiologically
contaminated soils. Also addressed in this book are current and
future methods of assessing microbiological activity potential and
diversity and of modeling biodegradation, contaminant flux, and
gaseous transport in the subsurface.
