METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL FOR CONTAMINATED SOIL RECOVERY

Abstract

The contamination of soils, by different substances and / or products is becoming moreextensive throughout the world, its determination, minimization and treatment to reachthe recovery ofthem is a necessity, even though it is not granted the level of importancerequired by the countries concerned. The objective of this work is to propose amethodology for the recovery of soils with a high degree of efficiency and effectivenessin the selection of procedures, regardless of the types of pollutants and land use oncerecovered. The methodological proposal involves the stages of diagnosis,characterization, selection of the technology and its technical and economic validationat the laboratoryand pilot plant level. Subsequently, the technology of the treatment isdesigned, along with the elaboration of an objective study of each particular case and anessential economic and technical feasibility analysis for the different scales of thedevelopment of the technological process
