The potential of agents such as surfactants and cosolvents to influence the solubility, sorption, and transport of organic compounds in porous media has fomented research on their use for enhancing contaminant removal (e.g., enhanced pump and treat). However, the application of these agents for in situ remediation may, in some cases, be constrained by various factors such as reactivity with soil and potential toxicity. As an alternative, microbially produced cyclodextrins are not limited by these disadvantages because they have many unique properties. In this work we examine the potential of selected cyclodextrins to enhance the removal of low-polarity organic compounds from contaminated soil and aquifer materials.
