| Description | Bioremediation as a sustainable alternative to chemical-physical processes is an attractive solution for soil decontamination and renewal of polluted sites. Depending on the site characteristics and target treatment requirements for the decontaminated soil, in situ or ex situ technologies are employed. Ex situ technologies are advantageous when a safe and effective intervention is required (i.e., in the presence of severe contamination of highly hazardous compounds). In this review, conventional and innovative ex situ technologies for soil bioremediation are presented. For each one the principle of operation and recent applications are reported. In addition, strategies to improve their efficiency are explored. Finally, the possibility of making these technologies more competitive by indicating research needs for their future development is highlighted. |
