Thermal Desorption of Highly-impacted mercury soils in an Urban Area
By Q. Hilbert, A. Vandekerckhove, H. SAADAOUI, J. HAEMERS - HAEMERS Technologies J. Chibleur, J. Leplat - Biogénie In-Situ and Ex-Situ Thermal Desorption (ISTD and ESTD) are a technology based on thermal conduction that can effectively treat organic contaminants, independently of large soil heterogeneity. One of its applications is for contaminated properties in urban areas and under existing buildings. The main principle of the technology resides in installing a network of steel pipes that act as a air/soil heat exchanger to heat up...
