METHOD FOR ACCELERATED CHEMICAL AND/OR BIOLOGICAL REMEDIATION AND METHOD OF USING AN APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

This invention relates to a method of using an apparatus is provided for the accelerated remediation of treated contaminated material. The material is treated with chemical amendments for facilitating accelerated remediation thereof. The apparatus comprises means for generating a treated contaminated material entraining air stream at a predetermined velocity for entraining the treated contaminate material therein for micro-enfractionating the treated contaminated material. In this way, accelerated remediation is facilitated. In another form of the invention, a method of accelerated remediation of treated contaminated material is provided. This method comprises the steps of (a) treating the contaminated material with chemical amendments for facilitating accelerated remediation 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 air stream, (d) microenfractionating the treated contaminated material, and (e) discharging the microenfractionated treated contaminated material from the air stream. The microenfractionated treated contaminated material can then be acceleratedly remediated.
