Remediation of soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Suyin Gan,E.V. Lau,Hoon Kiat Ng +2 more
TL;DR: This paper aims to provide a review of the remediation technologies specifically for PAH-contaminated soils, and discusses solvent extraction, bioremediation, phytoremediations, chemical oxidation, photocatalytic degradation, electrokinetic remediation, thermal treatment and integrated remediated technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioremediation of soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, petroleum, pesticides, chlorophenols and heavy metals by composting: Applications, microbes and future research needs
TL;DR: Composting or compost addition can simultaneously increase soil organic matter content and soil fertility besides bioremediation, and thus is believed to be one of the most cost-effective methods for soil remediation.

Bioremediation of soil contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): A review
Susan C. Wilson,Kevin C. Jones +1 more
TL;DR: The bioremediation of contaminated soils with in-situ, on-site, and bioreactor techniques is reviewed, together with the factors affecting PAH degradation.
Book ChapterDOI
Microbial metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
TL;DR: Studies on PAH metabolism are entering a new era; biochemical genetic techniques such as gene cloning and transposon mutagenesis will provide new insight into the biochemistry and regulation of PAH degradative pathways.
