ABSTRACT
All the cleanup technologies based on physicochemical approaches are generally expensive, being power consuming and having detrimental effects. Green remediation (GR) is the practice that considers all the environmental effects of a cleanup process during each phase, and incorporates strategies to maximize the net environmental bene—t of the cleanup. The GR reduces the demand placed on the environment during cleanup actions, also known as the “footprint” of remediation, and avoids the potential for collateral environmental damage.
