Several techniques are employed in soil remediation, each tailored to specific contaminants and site conditions:
Soil Washing: This method involves using water, sometimes with added surfactants, to separate contaminants from soil particles. Bioremediation: Utilizes microorganisms to degrade organic contaminants into less harmful substances. Phytoremediation: Involves the use of plants to absorb, concentrate, and/or degrade pollutants from the soil. Thermal Desorption: Uses heat to vaporize contaminants, which can then be collected and treated. Chemical Oxidation: Involves adding chemicals that react with contaminants to break them down into harmless compounds.
