Easily biodegradable organic material and humic material may be distributed on the soil surface in a manner such that portions thereof are carried below the soil surface by infiltrating water, where the easily biodegradable material may be degraded by microorganisms, generating an anaerobic environment suited to further biologic and abiotic reduction of the contaminants, and the humic material may be retained by the soil particles thereby reducing pollutant leaching. | 06-14-2012 |
20150093199 | Contaminated Soil Purification Method - A contaminated soil remediation method activates a microorganism in soil contaminated with a toxic chemical substance. The contaminant is decomposed by a biodegradation reaction of the microorganism. The method involves forming a boring hole reaching into contaminated soil. A rod whose end is provided with a jet device is inserted into the boring hole. The contaminated soil is cut in a manner forming a flat-plate area in which the soil is intermittently cut by a microorganism activator, and the soil and the microorganism activator are mixed, by jetting water and/or the microorganism activator from the jet device. | 04-02-2015 |
20150329390 | PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATED WITH POLLUTANTS THAT CAN BE ANAEROBICALLY BIOREMEDIATED - Exemplary products and methods are described for in situ treatment of groundwater or aquifer material that is or may become contaminated with pollutants that can be anaerobically bioremediated. Easily biodegradable organic material and humic material may be injected into the soil in a manner such that portions thereof are carried below the water table to create anaerobic conditions. Thereafter water is injected in an amount sufficient that, with natural groundwater flow, the organic and humic materials are distributed throughout a zone to be treated. | 11-19-2015 |
