  2. In situ chemical oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_chemical_oxidation

    Deep soil mixing requires specialized auger mixing equipment. In order to apply this method in-situ and in deep soil, the oxidant must be pumped to the point of mixing using a kelly bar (a piece of earth drilling equipment), or appropriate piping to the place where the soil needs to be oxidized. The soil then has to be mixed by using mixing blades.

  3. In situ capping of subaqueous waste - Wikipedia

    In-Situ Capping (ISC) of Subaqueous Waste is a non-removal remediation technique for contaminated sediment that involves leaving the waste in place and isolating it from the environment by placing a layer of soil and/or material over the contaminated waste as to prevent further spread of the contaminant. In-situ capping provides a viable way to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_remediation

    Dredging contaminated sediment in New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts. The harbor is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).. Environmental remediation is the cleanup of hazardous substances dealing with the removal, treatment and containment of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, groundwater, sediment.

  5. Thermal desorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_desorption

    Thermal desorption is an environmental remediation technology that utilizes heat to increase the volatility of contaminants such that they can be removed (separated) from the solid matrix (typically soil, sludge or filter cake). The volatilized contaminants are then either collected or thermally destroyed.

  6. In situ chemical reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_chemical_reduction

    ISCR is usually applied in the environment by injecting chemically reductive additives in liquid form into the contaminated area or placing a solid medium of chemical reductants in the path of a contaminant plume. [1] It can be used to remediate a variety of organic compounds, including some that are resistant to natural degradation.

  7. Soil vapor extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_vapor_extraction

    Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is a physical treatment process for in situ remediation of volatile contaminants in vadose zone (unsaturated) soils (EPA, 2012). SVE (also referred to as in situ soil venting or vacuum extraction) is based on mass transfer of contaminant from the solid (sorbed) and liquid (aqueous or non-aqueous) phases into the gas phase, with subsequent collection of the gas phase ...
