Landfarming is an ex situ waste treatment process that is performed in the upper soil zone or in biotreatment cells. Contaminated soils, sediments, or sludges are transported to the landfarming site, mixed into the soil surface and periodically turned over (tilled) to aerate the mixture. [1] .

Landfarming is an ex situ, solid-phase biotreatment technology that involves using agricultural practices to promote biodegradation of organic contaminants. Soils or sediments are spread in thin layers across a large open space and potentially mixed into shallow underlying soil, allowing natural processes to degrade and immobilize the contaminants.

Apr 28, 2022 · Landfarming is a well proven ex-situ bioremediation technology that has been successfully used since the 1980s for treating petroleum impacted soils/sediments, drill cuttings, low brine drilling fluids, oily sludges, tank bottoms and pit sludges. The material to be treated is incorporated into surface soil.

Landfarming is a full-scale bioremediation technology, which usually incorporates liners and other methods to control leaching of contaminants, which requires excavation and placement of contaminated soils, sediments, or sludges. Contaminated media is applied into lined beds and periodically turned over or tilled to aerate the waste.

Landfarming is an ex situ remediation technology involving a biological treatment by aerobic biodegradation of organic contaminants present in soils and sediments.

In this chapter, we address four state-of-the-art aspects of the Landfarming Framework. These include: (1) definition and design, (2) treatment rate, (3) example of full-scale landfarming for soil bioremediation, and (4) research and application issues.

Land Farming is a bioremediation technology. Contaminated soils are mixed with soil amendments such as soil bulking agents and nutrients, and then they are tilled into the earth. The material is periodically tilled for aeration. Contaminants are degraded, transformed, and immobilized by microbiological processes and by oxidation.

Jul 31, 2017 · Landfarming is an attractive bioremediation treatment approach for soils contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), since it is less expensive and more environmentally friendly...

Jan 1, 2016 · Landfarming provides a platform where soil conditions (pH, nutrient, moisture, and tilling) can be optimized to promote microbial activities and thus the desired degradation of soil pollutants can be achieved.

Mar 24, 2021 · The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a landfarming process (LP) in recovering sediments at different biodegradation phases: phytoremediated dredged sediments (PDS) and fresh dredged sediments (FDS).
