Collection of papers related to treatment of contaminated soil and water / by Emergencies Engineering Division, River Road Environmental Technology Centre, Environment Canada.: En83-18/143E-PDF
"Soil contamination has become a serious problem and has attracted a lot of attention in North America. Treatment of contaminated soil is used extensively in Europe and has become important in North America in the recent years. The number of contaminated sites requiring urgent attention in Canada and United States is increasing which calls for efficient and cost effective treatment methods. Environment Canada's Emergencies Engineering Division (EED) has recently conducted research on the methodology and the feasibility of soil remediation. The main objective of this study has been to develop and propose a process train for remediation of a soil contaminated with heavy metals and PCB's, along with the treatment of the wastewater resulting from the process"--Introduction.
