	Soil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soil is unconsolidated rock particles on the surface of the earth, mixed with organic matter from plant decay.
		Soil is vital to all life on earth because it supports the growth of plants, which supply food and oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
		Soils can be divided into two general layers or strata: topsoil, the topmost layer, where most plant roots, microorganisms, and other animal life are located, and subsoil, which is deeper and often more dense and less rich in organic matter.

		Soil is the layer of minerals and organic matter, in thickness from from centimeters to a meter or more, on the land surface.
		The organic part of soils is derived chiefly from the remains of vegetables and animals which have lived and died in and upon the soil, which have been spread over it by rivers and rains, or which have been added by the industry of man for the purposes of increased fertility.
		Such soils ought to be regularly summer-fallowed once in six, or at least once in eight years, even when they are comparatively in a clean state, as they contract a sourness and adhesion from wet ploughing, only to be removed by exposure to the sun and wind during the dry months of summer.

	Soil remediation
		"Soils contaminated with metals could produce tainted foodstuffs and drinking water," says Dr. Adriano, who is heading a group that plans to found an international soil remediation research center next year.
		Environmental remediation of such areas is often necessary, and with scientific input it can be done in a way that promotes long-term soil conservation, Dr. Adriano says.
		Another established approach is the use of potassium fertilizer to remediate areas contaminated with radioactive cesium.

		The organic part of soils is derived chiefly from the remainsof vegetables and animals which have lived and died in and upon the soil, which have been spread over it by rivers and rains, orwhich have been added by the industry of man for the purposes of increased fertility.
		A clayey soil, though distinguished by the color which it bears, namely fl, white, yellow and red, differs from all othersoils, being tough, wet, and cold, and consequently requiring a good deal of labor from the husbandman before it can besufficiently pulverized, or placed in a state for bearing artificial crops of corn or grass.
		All clayey soils require great industry and care, as well as a considerable portion of knowledge in dressing ormanagement to keep them in good condition; yet when their natural toughness is got the better of, they always yield the heaviestand most abundant crops.

		Contaminated soil is loaded into a screening device which feeds soil over a weigh scale and into the rotary desorber.
		The heated and now clean soil is then fed through the auger quench system where multiple nozzle water spray system cools and rehydrates the clean soil as it exits the system.
		The soil continues through the drum, but during the last part of the journey, the soil is not veiled, but allowed to tumble along the bottom to allow the burner to operate properly and prevent soil from direct contact with the flame.

	Thermal Soil Remediation
		Remediation is a process to remove petroleum contaminants such as gasoline, kerosene and fuel oil from soil.
		The thermal soil remediation process heats the soil in a rotating drum to a temperature high enough to vaporize the contaminants in the soil but not high enough to burn or incinerate it.
		A typical thermal soil remediation unit permitted by Ohio EPA heats the contaminated soil to at least 350-700°F to release the hydrocarbons.

	Current Environmental Solutions offering Six-Phase Heating™,
		The amount of current which can be made to flow through a given soil type is a function of the voltage applied and the resistance of that soil.
		Since distance and soil types are fixed components, current flow can be controlled by regulating soil moisture content and the applied voltage.
		Second, the steam acts as a carrier gas for the contaminants, enabling the contaminants to be swept out of the soil into the vacuum vent by increasing the permeability of the soil.

	Soil Remediation Using In Situ Immobilization Techniques
		The risk to the environment from contaminated soil cannot be assessed by simply considering the total amount of potentially toxic metals within the soil because these metals are not necessarily completely mobile or biovailable.
		Soil amendments such as apatite, zeolite, clay minerals, iron oxides, and alkaline biosolids (waste by-products) were found to be suitable for remediating metal-contaminated soil.
		Soil amendments used with in situ remediation techniques decreased the mobility of metals by increasing retention of metals in the non-mobile solid phase.

	What is Soil Remediation?
		Soil vapor extraction, known as SVE, is the most frequently selected method for treatment of contaminated soil at superfund sites, brown-fields, refineries, gas stations, dry cleaners, and grain elevators.
		When incoming air passes through the soil on its way to the extraction wells, contaminants evaporate out of the spaces between the soil particles and are pulled by the air to the wells and removed.
		Because properties of the soil have such an important effect on the movement of soil vapors, the performance and design of SVE and Air Sparging systems depend greatly on the properties of the soil.

		The impact to ground water soil remediation standards are designed to prevent the unacceptable risk to human health from the ingestion of contaminated ground water caused by the migration of chemicals from the unsaturated soil zone to the ground water.
		The proposed impact to ground water soil remediation standards assume that soil contamination is present at the water table.
		The proposed to ground water soil remediation standards are calculated and subjected to a generally accepted method of rounding or may be modified based on PQLs.

	EarthWorks Environmental -
		The METS designers realized that, for a remediation method to be reliable, we required a more efficient and thorough means of processing the soil and injecting the decontamination reagents or microorganisms into the soil.
		The contaminant molecules in the soil are already being degraded or neutralized by the time the soil emerges from the processing mill.
		The METS remediation process is based on thoroughly blending safe, decontaminating reagents and/or biological cultures into a suitably prepared soil matrix that includes proper moisture and aeration in a single operation.
