ABSTRACT
Hazardous waste pollution, hazardous waste terminologies, various onsite, offsite, in situ, and
ex situ environmental remediation technologies, and case histories are presented in this chapter.
The topics of soil remediation technologies covered here include excavation, stabilization,
solidification, vapor stripping, vacuum extraction, thermal desorption, incineration, starved air
combustion, pyrolysis, hot air enhanced stripping, steam enhanced stripping, thermal extraction,
subsurface volatilization and ventilation, vitrification, soil surfactant flushing, soil washing, soil
bioremediation, bioventing, slurry bioreactor, chemical treatment, KPEG treatment, and natural
attenuation. The topics of groundwater decontamination technologies covered here include air
stripping, ultraviolet radiation, oxidation, carbon adsorption, groundwater bioremediation,
sewer discharge, liquid/liquid (oil/water) separation, free product recovery, in situ flushing, trenching, containerizing, and dissolved air flotation.
