This volume provides a review of the past 10 to 15 years of intensive research, development and demonstrations on the in situ remediation of dissolved chlorinated solvents. The intended audience includes the decision makers and practicing engineers and hydrogeologists who will select, design and operate these remedial systems, as well as researchers seeking to improve the current state-of-the-art. Our hope is that this volume will serve as a useful resource to assist remediation professionals in applying and developing the technology as effectively as possible. The editors and chapter authors have produced a well-written and up-to-date treatise that we hope will prove to be a useful referencefor those making decisions on remediation of chlorinated solvents, for remediation practitioners, and for those involved in development of advanced technology for the in situ remediation of dissolved chlorinated solvents in groundwater INDICE: Groundwater Contamination by Chlorinated Solvents: History, Remediation Technologies, and Strategies.- Chlorinated Solvent Chemistry: Structures, Nomenclature and Properties.- Biodegradation of Chlorinated Ethenes.- Abiotic Processes Affecting the Remediation of Chlorinated Solvents.- Engineering and Implementation Challenges for Chlorinated Solvent Remediation.- Modeling Remediation of Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Impacts of Source Management on Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- DNAPL Site Characterization Issues at Chlorinated Solvent Sites.- Remedial Technology Selection for Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Monitored Natural Attenuation of Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Biostimulation for Anaerobic Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents.- Bioaugmentation for Anaerobic Bioremediation of Chlorinated Solvents.- Air Sparging for the Treatment of Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Chemical Oxidation and Reduction for Chlorinated Solvent Remediation.- Iron Barrier Walls for Chlorinated Solvent Remediation.- Electrolytic Reactive Barriersfor Chlorinated Solvent Remediation.- In-Well Treatment for Chlorinated Solvent Remediation.- Phytoremediation of Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Cost Analyses for Remedial Options.- Future Directions and Research Needs for Chlorinated Solvent Plumes.- Index.
