Abstract:
Environmental pollution remains one of the most serious world problems. Great
efforts are made to limit the release of harmful compounds into the
environment, and a variety of methods for remediation of soil, surface
water, and groundwater have been developed over the years. Chemical
remediation technologies are of great interest since they can remove and
degrade pollutants in contaminated sites. This paper focuses on several
chemical remediation technologies, such as precipitation, flocculation,
adsorption and ion exchange, chemical oxidation, soil washing and flushing,
and electrokinetic remediation. Remediation technologies are almost always
combined one with another, although they can be used separately. Choosing an
appropriate technology will depend on the type of the pollutants and site
conditions, and it should be done in such a manner so that the most
cost-effective and efficient technology is chosen. Even though some of the
technologies are used full-scale, research should be focused on enhancing
the existing, and developing new remediation technologies.
