Method for disposing of contaminated deposit soil and recycled reclamation soil using same
Provided is a method for disposing of contaminated deposit soil and recycled reclamation soil using the same and, more specifically, a method for disposing of contaminated dredged soil, the method comprising the steps of: seeding a mixed strain NIX51 (KACC81038BP) in the contaminated dredged soil to primarily dispose of contaminated materials in a bioreactor; and washing the degraded soil, which has been primarily disposed of, with a washing solution containing at least one selected from the group consisting of citric acid, oxalate, carbonic acid (H.sub.2CO.sub.3), and nitric acid, to secondarily dispose of heavy metals.
Method for disinfecting soils or other agricultural growing media
The invention relates to a method for disinfecting soils or other agricultural growing media, characterised by comprising the following steps: obtaining a soil or other agricultural growing medium at their field capacity; treating the soil or medium at the field capacity of the previous step with ozonated water, wherein the ozonated water is prepared in situ with ozone-production equipment connected to the water supply; allowing a period of time to pass after the treatment with ozone; and inoculating the disinfected soil or agricultural medium with at least one species of beneficial microorganism.

Optimized flux ERH electrode
An in-situ thermal remediation method and a drip system for implementing the method. The drip water system collects data and changes its drip operation to optimize performance of the electrode. Electrical current, drip volume, drip cycle time and change in current are measured as a function of time and adjustments are made to the drip water volume and time between injections to optimize performance based on the observed current performance over time. A specialized screen delivers water where it is needed.

Subsurface soil purification method
A subsurface soil purification method including: warming an activator liquid, for stimulating decomposer microorganisms that decompose a contaminant in subsurface soil, to a higher temperature than a groundwater temperature, and feeding the activator liquid into the subsurface soil by injecting the activator liquid into an in-ground injection well; warming an activator liquid, for stimulating decomposer microorganisms that decompose a contaminant in subsurface soil, the decomposer microorganisms being infused in the activator liquid, to a higher temperature than a groundwater temperature, and feeding the activator liquid into the subsurface soil by injecting the activator liquid into an in-ground injection well, or warming a purification liquid for decomposing a contaminant in subsurface soil, to a higher temperature than a groundwater temperature, and feeding the purification liquid into the subsurface soil by injecting the purification liquid into an in-ground injection well. The subsurface soil purification method also includes forcing air into the injection well, and feeding the air into the subsurface soil from a position in the injection well that is lower than a position in the injection well for feed-in of the activator liquid or the purification liquid.
