Abstract

Volatile organic compounds and other volatile contaminants are removed from soils and granular solids by contacting the soil with steam at superatmospheric pressure and thereafter rapidly reducing the pressure by flashing off steam and vaporized contaminants leaving a cleaned soil product. The steam fraction containing the contaminant compounds is condensed and the contaminants can then be separated from the water for recovery or disposal.
