Journal ArticleDOI
Remediation of Metal/Metalloid-Polluted Soils: A Short Review
TL;DR: A review of the main techniques of heavy metal removal, also giving elements to assess their potential hazardousness due to their concentrations, is presented in this article, where the main evaluation factors for the choice are contaminated site geology, contamination characteristics, cost, feasibility, and sustainability of the applied process, as well as the technology readiness level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioremediation of Agricultural Soils Polluted with Pesticides: A Review
Carla Maria Raffa,Fulvia Chiampo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the bioremediation of soils polluted with commercial pesticides, considering the features that characterize the main and most used ones, namely their classification and their toxicity, together with some elements of legislation into force around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Monitoring at a Lab Scale of Aerobic Biological Processes in a Soil Contaminated by Diesel Oil
Andrea Vergnano,Alberto Godio,Carla Maria Raffa,Fulvia Chiampo,Francesca Bosco,Barbara Ruffino +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used TDR probes to measure dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity in columns of sandy soil artificially contaminated with diesel oil (Voil/Vtot = 0.19).
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics and Optimization by Response Surface Methodology of Aerobic Bioremediation. Geoelectrical Parameter Monitoring
Carla Maria Raffa,Fulvia Chiampo,Alberto Godio,Andrea Vergnano,Francesca Bosco,Barbara Ruffino +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the kinetics of an aerobic bioremediation process of diesel oil removal by indigenous microorganisms, and defined the optimal operative conditions by means of response surface methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Open-Ended Coaxial Probe Measurements of Complex Dielectric Permittivity in Diesel-Contaminated Soil during Bioremediation.
Andrea Vergnano,Alberto Godio,Carla Maria Raffa,Fulvia Chiampo,Jorge A. Tobon Vasquez,Francesca Vipiana +5 more
TL;DR: The open-ended coaxial probe is a promising instrument to check the dielectric properties of soil to characterize or monitor a bioremediation process and despite a moderate accuracy reduction compared to measurements performed on liquid media, this technology can be successfully applied to granular materials such as soil.
