Booknews
This collection of 41 papers provides technical information relating to current and potential remediation practices. It begins with general engineering issues and the regulatory, ethical, and technical framework within which these processes are managed. The text then introduces specific case studies in hydrocarbon remediation that offer a concise view of the many technological approaches possible in remediation. The final sections balance presentations of traditional soil-specific technologies and emerging technologies, with special attention to developments in bioremediation. Topics include application of electrokinetic remediation, enhanced naphthalene bioavailability in a liquid-liquid biphasic system, aqueous solvent removal of contaminants from soils, and the implementation of monitored natural attenuation at explosives-contaminated sites.
