METHOD FOR ACCELERATED BIOREMEDIATION AND METHOD OF USING ANAPPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

This invention relates to a method of using an apparatus is provided for the accelerated bioremediation of treated contaminated material. The material is treated with chemical and/or biological amendments for facilitating accelerated bioremediation thereof. Th e apparatus comprises means for generating a treated contaminated material ent raining air stream at a predetermined velocity for entra ining the treated contaminate material therein for microenfractionating the treate d contaminated material. In this way, accelerated biorem ediation is facilitated. In another form of the invention, a method of accelerated bi oremediation of treated contaminated material is provide d. This method comprises the steps of (a) treating the treated contaminated material with chemical and/or biological amendments for facilita ting accelerrated bioremediation thereof, (b) providing an entraining air stream having a sufficient velocity for entraining the treated contaminated material therein, (c) entraining the treated contaminated material in the ai r stream, (d) microenfractionating the treated contamina ted material, and (e) discharging the microenfractionated treated material from the air st ream. In this way, the treated contaminated material can be acceleratedly bioremediated.
