Trazability assays in polluted soils recovering by biorremediation technology; Ensayos de tratabilidad en la recuperacion de suelos contaminados por la tecnologia de la biorremediacion

Abstract

biorremediation is based on the naturally occurring process by which micro-organisms either immobilize or transform environmental contaminants to innocuous end products. biorremediation is an important soil and groundwater remediation strategy, because it destroys or immobilised contaminants rather than transferring them from one environmental medium to another. An additional advantage is that it implies lower capital expenditure than many other remediation technologies. In this publication the scientific basis of bio stimulation are described. Likewise, a protocol for treatability assays is presented. This protocol has several steps, which identify: first the metabolic activity of indigenous microbial populations, then the biodegradability of contaminants, and finally, the conditions and type of bio stimulation or bio augmentation. The application to two types of soil is described. (Author) 3 refs.
