“…Stabilization of metals requires that the site be permanently changed in some way. Most drastic is vitrification, wherein contaminated soil is heated to form a glasslike substance (Staley 1995). Alternatively, the site may be capped or paved to prevent water from entering the site and transporting metal contaminants, or site conditions may be imposed (e.g., anaerobiosis) that reduce the potential for metal mobilization and transport (Liu et al 2001;Zoumis et al 2001).…”

Forty percent of hazardous waste sites in the United States are co-contaminated with organic and metal pollutants. Data from both aerobic and anaerobic systems demonstrate that biodegradation of the organic component can be reduced by metal toxicity. Metal bioavailability, determined primarily by medium composition/soil type and pH, governs the extent to which metals affect biodegradation. Failure to consider bioavailability rather than total metal likely accounts for much of the enormous variability among reports of inhibitory concentrations of metals. Metals appear to affect organic biodegradation through impacting both the physiology and ecology of organic degrading microorganisms. Recent approaches to increasing organic biodegradation in the presence of metals involve reduction of metal bioavailability and include the use of metal-resistant bacteria, treatment additives, and clay minerals. The addition of divalent cations and adjustment of pH are additional strategies currently under investigation.

“…3.1 TECHNOLOGIES FOR TREATMENT OF HLW 1 contaminants allows for the complete treatment of a solid waste in one step (Bickford, 1993;Staley, 1993). However, some researchers believe that radionuclides are not destroyed in the hightemperature treatment process (Staley, 1993). The ratio of radioactivity to the resultant mass is much higher than the pretreatment.…”
