Book Description

In situ remediation techniques have experienced a boom over the last few years, thereby producing a wide range of valuable experiences. Their results have demonstrated that in situ techniques are a mature alternative to conventional remediation techniques. Irrespective of future policy developments, it is impossible to imagine future remediation practice without the use of in situ techniques. The book presents an overview of recent developments in the field of in situ soil remediation. The book is unique in that it is not a compilation of unrelated case studies. A conceptual approach has been chosen; remediation models described in this book are illustrated from a practical point of view. The authors present the Dutch way of treating contaminated land; The Netherlands is renowned for being at the forefront of remediation techniques as a result of the country's progressiveness and experience in this area.

Book Description

The problem of aquifer contamination remains one of the greatest challenges facing environmental scientists and engineers. Air sparging, a technique unknown until recently, has emerged with increasing application frequency as an alternative to both the pump-and-treat technology and conventional in situ bioremediation for treating this problem. This book, featuring contributions from the world's most experienced air sparging practitioners, conveys the latest practical experience and information from North America and Europe. Air Sparging for Site Remediation presents an overview of air sparging in general and detailed information on particular air sparging technologies and their applications. The book examines the application of the technology to a variety of contaminants, including hydrocarbons, pesticides, nitrates, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. In addition, these specific topics and more are discussed:

Book Description

From the PrefaceSoil vapor extraction within the last few years has gone from being an innovative, relatively untried technology which was viewed with some distrust, to being one of the most reliable, accepted, and cost-effective of the techniques available for the remediation of hazardous waste sites. As with most of the in situ techniques, its use is restricted; the compounds to be removed must have vapor pressures and Henry's constants that are sufficiently large; SVE is effective for removing only those VOCs that are in the vadose zone or floating on the water table, and the soil at the site must be sufficiently permeable that one can move air through all of the domain to be treated by SVE. The design of optimal, cost-effective SVE installations tends to be highly site-specific, and often at complex sites the technique is deployed in concert with such other technologies as pump-and-treat, in situ air sparging, and fixation/stabilization. SVE may also be operated in such a manner as to optimize the extent to which biodegradation of contaminants occurs, a technique that is called bioventing or bio-assisted SVE, a quite new technology addressed in this book. Recently, another aeration technique has been developed_in situ air sparging; this is for use in the remediation of aquifers contaminated with VOCs. Virtually all of the points raised above with regard to SVE are also applicable to ISAS. The technique, being newer than SVE, has not yet achieved the wide degree of acceptance that SVE now enjoys, but ISAS has already achieved a number of successes, has a sound basis in science and engineering, has very little environmental impact, and is applicable to situations for which no other technology has proven cost-effective. It is evident that universal acceptance of this technology will be achieved in the near future. In this book about these techniques, we hope to serve the needs of three groups of readers. First, we have attempted to provide sufficient information on SVE and ISAS to give managers and regulators who may not be familiar with these remediation methods a clear idea of their ranges of applicability. Secondly, we have tried to meet the needs of those engineers who are not experts in the fields of SVE and ISAS, but whose work requires that they read proposals, reports, recommendations, etc., involving the technique with some degree of critical understanding. Thirdly, we have tried to provide a detailed discussion of SVE and ISAS, complete with all the mathematical nuts and bolts, for the environmental engineer whose work is involved with the selection, preliminary planning, design, construction, and operation of SVE and/or ISAS facilities and who may have to use or even to develop computer software in connection with these tasks. The book places heavy emphasis on mathematical modeling, and we believe that there is much to be gained by thoughtful modeling exercises.

Description:
Microbial properties such as microbial biomass carbon (MBC), arylsulfatase, @b-glucosidase and dehydrogenase activities, and microbial heterotrophic potential, together with several chemical properties such as pH, CaCl"2 soluble heavy metal concentrations, total organic carbon and hydrosoluble carbon were measured to evaluate changes in soil quality, after ''in situ'' remediation of a heavy metal-contaminated soil from the Aznalcollar mine accident (Southern Spain, 1998). The experiment was carried out using containers, filled with soil from the affected area. Four organic amendments (a municipal waste compost, a biosolid compost, a leonardite and a litter) and an inorganic amendment (sugarbeet lime) were mixed with the top soil at the rate of 100Mgha^-^1. Unamended soil was used as control. Agrostis stolonifera L. was sown in the containers. The soil was sampled twice: one month and six months after amendment application. In general, these amendments improved the soil chemical properties: soil pH, total organic carbon and hydrosoluble carbon increased in the amended soils, while soluble heavy metal concentrations diminished. At the same time, higher MBC, enzyme activities and maximum rate of glucose mineralization values were found in the organically amended soils. Plant cover was also important in restoring the soil chemical and microbial properties in all the soils, but mainly in those that were not amended organically. As a rule, remediation measures improved soil quality in the contaminated soils.

Book Description

The recent revolution in molecular biology has spread through every field of biology including systematics and evolution. Researchers can now analyze the genomes of different species relatively quickly, and this is generating a great deal of data and theories about relationships between taxa as well as how they originated and diversified. Organelles, Genomes and Eukaryote Phylogeny covers recent developments in the field of "deep level" phylogenetic inference of eukaryotes, especially with respect to the origin and evolution of eukaryotic cells and their organelles. It focuses on interpretation of data derived from molecular and cell biology, genome sequencing with respect to the timing and mechanism of eukaryogenesis, and the endosymbiotic events leading to mitochondria and plastids. As ideas that prevailed for twenty years are being revised, updated, or abandoned in the face of more sophisticated analysis of molecular sequence data, this book will prove relevant to all students and professionals working in molecular systematics, comparative genomics, and cell biology.
