Phytoremediation of diesel contaminated soil / prepared by Carol Rinelli. by Rinelli, Carol. Subjects Phytoremediation   Oil pollution of soils   MSEV Project. Description:  52 leaves : ill. ; 28 cm.

A railroad company is currently implementing a three year program to evaluate the use of vegetation (phytoremediation) as a technically and economically feasible alternative to off-site remediation and disposal of petroleum impacted soils. Valuable data will be generated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the innovative technology, to further define suitable plant species and applications in Wisconsin, and to gain acceptance from the WDNR and the public. The MSOE capstone design project will complement the study by performing a small-scale treatability study to assess the phyto-toxicity of various contaminant concentrations in the soil. Phytoremediation is the use of plants to remediate contaminated soil, taking advantage of the plant's natural abilities to take up, accumulate, and/or degrade contaminants. This technology has shown promise in the laboratory and field tests on soils containing petroleum hydrocarbons and may be feasible at transportation facilities which often have sufficient area for phytoremediation/landspreading treatment plots.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .R56 2000 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
