In-Situ Restoration of Metals-Contaminated Sites

Many common industrial processes cause metals contamination: mining, auto and battery recycling, metal manufacturing, wood preserving, and pesticide production, to name just a few. Methods of metals assessment and remediation technologies have changed rapidly in recent years and consequently the corresponding literature is highly fragmented and diffuse. Bringing together the latest information, In-Situ Restoration of Metals-Contaminated Sites addresses latest technologies for the assessment, remediation, and restoration of metals-contaminated sites. Written in a clear, concise style by two authors with a combined 45 years of experience, this book presents the material in a comprehensive manner and logical sequence, with case histories that demonstrate experimental and leading edge approaches. The authors provide guidance for best practices in conventional, leading-edge, and experimental technologies for metals contaminated aquifers, soils, sludges, sediments, and waste deposits. They emphasize emerging in situ technologies, provide a comprehensive listing of references, and include a glossary of regulatory and technical terms. Broad in scope, In-Situ Restoration of Metals Contaminated Sites provides a thorough understanding of metals contaminated sites, the remediation strategies available, and the tools you need to make decisions about which one to use at a particular site.
