The Utilization of Bioremediation to Reduce Soil Contamination: Problems and Solutions (Hardcover, 2003 ed.): Vaclav Sasek,... The Utilization of Bioremediation to Reduce Soil Contamination: Problems and Solutions (Hardcover, 2003 ed.)
Vaclav Sasek, John A. Glaser, P. Baveye
R5,380 Discovery Miles 53 800 Ships in 10 - 17 working days

Traditional reliance on chemical analysis to understand the direction and extent of treatment in a bioremediation process has been found to be inadequate. Whereas the goal of bioremediation is toxicity reduction, few direct, reliable measures of this process are as yet available. Another area of intense discussion is the assessment of market forces contributing to the acceptability of bioremediation. Finally, another important component is a series of lectures and lively exchanges devoted to practical applications of different bioremediation technologies. The range of subjects covers a wide spectrum, encompassing emerging technologies as well as actual, full-scale operations. Examples discussed include landfarming, biopiling, composting, phytoremediation and mycoremediation. Each technology is explored for its utility and capability to provide desired treatment goals.

Advantages and limitations of each technology are discussed. The concept of natural attenuation is also critically evaluated since in some cases where time to remediation is not a significant factor, it may be an alternative to active bioremediation operations.
