Abstract
Thermal desorption is an ex situ means for physically separating organics from soils, sediments, sludges, filter cakes, and other solid media. Thermal desorbers are not specifically designed to effect decomposition. Desorber performance is generally measured by comparing the contaminant levels in the untreated medium with the contamination levels remaining in the processed medium.
