title: Development of an innovative soil remediation: "Cyclodextrin-enhanced combined technology".
abstract: This paper introduces an in situ "Cyclodextrin-enhanced soil bioremediation technology" which is a combination of 1. in situ bioventilation for biodegradation in the unsaturated soil zone; 2. physico-chemical treatment of the pumped ground water; 3. impulsive flushing for the three-phase soil. For enhancement of biodegradation and solubilization randomly methylated beta-cyclodextrin (RAMEB) was used. An additional aim of this study was to prove the importance of the technology monitoring which was used for characterisation of the soil processes by an integrated methodology. It consists of physico-chemical, biological and ecotoxicological methods specific for the contaminants. For technology monitoring the mobile soil phases--soil gas and ground water--were analysed. Sampling of the whole soil was carried out at the start and end of the technology application. RAMEB resulted in the enhanced removal of pollutants both from the saturated and unsaturated soil zones. Moreover, the biodegradation was more effective than the pump and treat technology, proved by the establishment of the carbon material balance in all soil phases.
