Abstract
The aim of the project is the development of a new technology for in-situ remediation of PAH-contaminated soils. The innovative aspect is the application of vegetable oil for desorbing strongly adsorbed and thus barely bioavailable highmolecular substances. Vegetable oil is a renewable resource; besides it shows a high degradability in soil. The new method will be developed in two variants which will be applicable depending on prevailing site conditions. The IFA-Tulln is involved in investigating the microbial degradation of remaining vegetable oil and PAHs and in developing an optimised phytoremediation practice in combination with microbial degradation.
