Mechanical Methods of Soil Cleaning

Soil cleaning technologies are becoming more and more important especially in industrialized countries. Application of soil washing i.e. physical separation results in cleaned soil which can be reused at the origin or the other location. Separated impurities (metals, hydrocarbons) are considered as special waste and further processed and/or disposed on special landfills. Technologies that were originally developed for mineral processing, due to similarity of operative goals – concentration/separation of certain matter adhering to a certain class of grain collective – have a high potential for use in soil cleaning. The purpose of this paper is to give a review of mineral processing methods which can be applied in soil washing technology, and to present some of the processes successfully applied in practice.
