Bonemeal additions as a remediation treatment for metal contaminated soil
Article Abstract:
Researchers from London and Scotland evaluated the ability of crystalline apatite to remediate toxic metals in contaminated soils and reduce the bioavailability of metals through metal phosphate formation. Sample soils were taken from the Parys Mountain, Leadhills and Wanlockhead in the United Kingdom.

Applications of ultrasound in NAPL remediation: sonochemical degredation of TCE in aqueous surfactant solutions
Article Abstract:
The following paper looks at the possible use of ultrasonic irradiation techniques in nonaqueous-phase liquid (NAPL) degradation and surfactant recycling. Surfactant-enhanced pump-and-treat technologies make removal of NAPLs from soil more efficient. NAPLs, which are comprised mostly of chlorinated and aromatic solvents released into the environment from spillage and leakage from storage tanks, pipelines and industrial facilities, have been a concern over the past fifteen years because when they are present in the subsurface they are a threat to supplies of groundwater.

Thermally induced changes in metal solubility of contaminated soils is linked to mineral recrystallization and organic matter transformation
Article Abstract:
Researchers examined Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in volcanic soil to determine the effect of temperature changes on metal solubility. On average, higher temperatures and aging corresponds to metals going into labile forms. Tables and figures illustrate the results of the study.
