In-Situ Mobilisation of Residual Oil in Contaminated Soil — Development of a Method for Selecting Oil-Mobilising Surfactants

  • Chapter
Contaminated Soil ’88

Abstract

In the years 1984 and 1985, the Battel le-Institute in Frankfurt investigated a presumably contaminated site on behalf of the Landkreis Gifhorn. The wastes (mainly construction materials, domestic waste and excavated soil) in the gravel pit contain a complex contamination by light fuel oil, heavy oil, aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHC) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) /1/. On top of the aquifer a funicular soil slick covering an area of about 5000 m2 with a vertical extension of up to 0.6 m was detected. In the groundwater a pollutant plume with a length of about 1 km was found, containing up to 10.000 ppm CHC.
