Opis

Combining the results of research with background material, this work provides in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as well as an overview of the physical and chemical processes available for treating petroleum-contaminated soils. It collects critical information for anyone dealing with this world-wide problem. It reports on the susceptibility of various petroleum components to biodegradation by micro-organisms, and considers all groups of micro-organisms for their potential contributions. It also covers such problem areas as the transport of organisms, oxygen or nutrients throughout the subsurface, and biodegradation of PAHs and NAPLs. Finally, it investigates means of controlling VOCs and leachate, and addresses methods for collecting and treating these secondary waste streams. The coverage should provide readers with a wide range of options for developing treatment stategies and for customizing specific requirements.
