The Pollution Status and Remediation Techniques for the Contaminated Soils in Mine

Article Preview

Abstract:

The pollution sources and characteristics, their environmental influences and the remediation techniques for the contaminated soils in mine were discussed systematically in this paper. For each remediation method, the applicable scope, and its merits or limits in the remediation of contaminated soils in mine were expounded respectively. Since the mine contaminated sites commonly had large pollution scope with combined pollutants, there was limited corresponding technique for the remediation of this complex contaminated site, not to mention the rare industrialized application, so combined with various remediation techniques to establish a complete set of remediation repertoire was needed.
