Cleo Springs, Oklahoma - in-situ chemical oxidation case study
A gasoline spill occurred when a fuel tanker was forced off this curve in rural Oklahoma. Initial responders were unsuccessful in their effort to remove all of the contaminated soil. Cedar Creek Engineering was contracted to remediate the residual soil and groundwater contamination. Here a recovery well and reagent injection points are installed. The treatment process called for Fenton's reagent ...

Cadmium in soil-plant systems: an overview
High concentrations of cadmium in soils represent a potential threat to human health because it is incorporated in the food chain mainly by plant uptake. The behaviour of cadmium in soils depends on several factors related to both soil and plant characteristics. This paper provides an overview of such factors as well as of the most environmentally friendly in situ soil remediation techniques in ...

Nyack MGP Site (Isotec Case Study 29)
Site Location: Nyack, NY Contamination: Bedrock contaminated with non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) and MGP-related compounds. Primary contaminants of concern (COCs) include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). Levels of COCs reached 6 mg/l for VOCs and 1,200 mg/l for PAHs in the dissolved phase and 8,500 mg/l for ...

In-Situ Remediation of Heavy Metals Using Sulfur-Based Treatment Technologies
THE METALS PROBLEM: Highly toxic and highly soluble metals are contained in numerous waste streams including those from power, chemical, electronics facilities, general manufacturing plants, and mining facilities. Lead, chromium, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, and mercury are the most common metal contaminants found on remediation project sites (US EPA, October, 2000). Cyanide is a common ...

Liberating contaminants for easy recovery
The number one challenge associated with most site remediation designs and methodologies is that 90-95 per cent of all environmental contaminants are present in an adsorbed phase onto soil and bedrock surfaces within both saturated and unsaturated zones. Contaminants, including hydrocarbons (LNAPL), chlorinates (DNAPL) and heavy metals, are sorbed onto the substrates and so have reduced mobility ...
