Mineral Processing Technologies for the Remediation of Soils Polluted by Trace Elements

Soil washing is a remediation technology based on the adaptation of techniques habitually used in mineral processing to recover contaminants from polluted soils. Its main scope is the reduction of the total volume of contaminated soil, which could later be treated by biological, chemical, or thermal...
