Abstract

Nowadays, problem on soil and groundwater pollution caused by waste materials has been serious. It is very important to conduct pretreatment to reduce contaminant level for safety work of removal and cost effective treatment of waste. Bioremediation technology is one of the methods. However, bioremediation technology has not been applied to contaminants within waste layers. Therefore, in this study, applicability of bioremediation technology to illegal dumping sites was examined by a biodegradation experiment for benzene in waste like burk compost. At first, benzene was added into the vial including the waste sample obtained from the site. Concentration of benzene in a headspace was measured periodically. As a result, in the both cases of saturated and unsaturated zones, benzene was almost degraded for about one month. In other words, as long as waste layers are controlled under aerobic condition, benzene is degraded by indigenous aerobic bacteria. In addition, toluene and xylene which are analogous compounds as benzene, were degraded under the same conditions.
