The feasibility of biologically treating process chemicals in soil at a plasticizer manufacturing site containing bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl)adipate, di-n-octylphthalate, and naphthalene was investigated. It was found that direct biological treatment of site soil was not feasible because part of the contamination existed as insoluble crystalline still-bottom material ranging in size from < 1 mm to several cm. Bench-scale soil biodegradation studies indicated that spiked phthalates and naphthalene could be biodegraded in site soil, but that only portions of the soil contaminant phthalates and naphthalene were bioavailable.
