Biopiles
Biopile treatment is a full-scale technology in which excavated soils are mixed with soil amendments and placed on a treatment area that includes leachate collection systems and some form of aeration. It is used to reduce concentrations of petroleum constituents in excavated soils through the use of biodegradation. Moisture, heat, nutrients, oxygen, and pH can be controlled to enhance ...

The potentiation of zinc toxicity by soil moisture in a boreal forest ecosystem
Northern boreal forests often experience forest dieback as a result of metal ore mining and smelting. The common solution is to lime the soil which increases pH, reducing metal toxicity and encouraging recovery. However, in certain situations, such as Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada, liming has only yielded moderate benefits with some locations responding well to liming and other locations, not at ...

Tests show surfactant-based technology effective in removing PFAS from soil and groundwater
In recent years, several major corporations, including M, DuPont, and Chemours (a DuPont spinoff ), have reached major settlements with municipal governments and other plaintiffs, agreeing to spend billions of dollars to remove PFAS from their pro- duction processes, products and the environment. A substantial amount of these settlement funds will go towards helping water treatment facilities to ...

Comparing Field Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) To Laboratory Analysis Of Heavy Metals In Soil
ABSTRACT Field portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) continues to gain acceptance as a complement to traditional laboratory testing of metal contaminated soil. The quality of data produced by field XRF varies with site conditions, soil composition, and sample preparation. Quality assurance protocols for the field method usually require that a number of field samples be split and sent to a ...
