Advances in Soil Remediation Techniques

Abstract

In recent decades, soil contamination has become a significant environmental concern due to industrial activities, improper waste disposal, and agricultural practices. As a result, innovative soil remediation techniques have been developed to restore soil health and mitigate environmental risks. This abstract explores recent advances in soil remediation technologies, focusing on their efficacy, sustainability, and applicability in various environmental contexts. This review covers several key remediation strategies, including physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical techniques such as soil excavation and soil vapor extraction are effective for removing contaminants from the soil matrix. Chemical methods like oxidation and reduction reactions, combined with techniques such as chemical immobilization or stabilization, target specific pollutants for degradation or containment.
