Application of thermal desorption as treatment method for soil contaminated with hazardous chemical
Journal Title: Advances in Environmental Sciences - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Soil is constantly evolving under the influence of both environmental factors and human activities. Because of strong industrialization in the past, Romania is among those European countries that have large areas contaminated by industrial waste, containing hazardous chemicals. The paper is an overview of thermal desorption methods used for the treatment of soils contaminated with hazardous chemicals such as mercury or DDT and will emphasize the optimal conditions for conducting thermal desorption.
