Objective There are today over the entire world existing many sites heavy ground contaminations by harmful substances, such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, PCB, etc. Today, the method generally used to address land pollutants is to excavate and remove the polluted land, which is then treated or transported to a landfill at another location. As a rule, these are costly methods that result in a heavy environmental load, due to long transport distances, among other factors. Furthermore, in many cases the excavation is not an option due to financial reasons. The development of new technologies for the removal of poisons from the soil has thus become apriority. The here proposed soil remediation technology is focussing on local or point source contaminations originating from clearly defined sources and is called the Ecosoil@ Method. The Ecosoil@ Method is an innovative, simple and economical technology for the on-site, in-situ removal of all kinds of hazardous substances, occurring as contaminants in soils as the result of local point source and/or diffuse contamination by adsorption mechanisms. The method is also appropriated for preventive applications resultant from local and/or diffuse contamination, from the soil through adsorption mechanisms, and also appropriated for preventive applications. The ECOSOIL@ method consists on the insertion of several chords connecting a multitude of sockets inside the same number of parallel horizontal holes drilled in the ground. The sockets serve as holders for appropriated biosorbents that absorb the contaminant material. After a period of time sufficient to attain the desired decontamination effect, the system is removed and the sorbent regenerated for further application. The ECOSOIL project intends to develop this patented system for its practical and commercial application in different types of contaminated soils, especially targeting cases were the ground treatment has to take place under existing buildings and infrastru Fields of science engineering and technologymechanical engineeringtribologylubricationagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturegrains and oilseedsnatural scienceschemical sciencesorganic chemistryhydrocarbonsnatural sciencesphysical sciencesclassical mechanicsfluid mechanicsfluid dynamicscomputational fluid dynamicsengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwaste managementwaste treatment processes Keywords Health and environment Programme(s) FP6-SME - Horizontal research activities involving SMEs: Specific activities covering wider field of research under the Focusing and Integrating Community Research programme 2002-2006.
