Best Answer

create harmless chemicals!!

Answer:

There are several ways:

  • For oils you remove as much free oil as you can then biodegrade (use microbes) the remainder.
  • For volatile material allow air to flow through the soik to strip out the organics
  • For heavy metals wash them out with water and collect the water for further treatment
  • Heavy metals can be sequestered with chelating agents or bioaccumulated by plants
  • acids and alkalis can be neutralized
  • Salts can be sequestered or washed out
