Bioremediation Of Chlorinated Solvents In Aquifers

The book "Bioremediation Of Chlorinated Solvents In Aquifers" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in the field of remediation of chlorinated solvents in aquifers. Given the widespread contamination by chlorinated solvents, it is crucial to develop cost-effective and efficient methods for cleanup. Each contaminated site has specific characteristics that require an individual feasibility study to determine the optimal conditions for remediation. The book covers the various phases of remediation, starting with site characterization, through hydrogeological and geochemical analyses, to practical implementation. Feasibility studies are presented at three different levels – micro, meso, and macroscopic – to illustrate the complexity of the remediation processes. Additionally, specific aspects of the remediation of chlorinated solvents, such as the accumulation of cis-DCE, are discussed in detail. This specialized book is aimed at students in geoenvironmental programs as well as engineers dealing with the remediation of chlorinated solvents.
