Abstract
Remediation of toxic waste materials in solid, liquid or a mixture of solid and liquid form provides rapid reduction of the toxic conditions to innocuous levels. The process utilizes indigenous microorganisms present in the waste materials. The process comprises contact mixing waste materials with protein nutrients in water, air entraining the waste materials and protein nutrients during mixing to form a bioactive structure, and exposing the bioactive structure to cure in air until the toxic materials are remediated to a predetermined innocuous level.
Claims15
A process for treating toxic waste materials contaminated with organic substances comprising the steps of:
- contact mixing toxic waste materials, which include indigenous microorganisms, with protein nutrients in water,
- air entraining the toxic waste materials and protein nutrients during mixing to form a bioactive structure, and
- exposing the bioactive structure to cure in air until the toxic waste materials are remediated to a predetermined innocuous level.
