That would depend on the hydrocarbon. If you're talking about volatile hydrocarbons or aromatic hydrocarbons, often several holes are drilled, sort of like shallow wells, and several pumps are set up to pull the hydrocarbons out of the soil. That process usually takes a long time and is reserved for the most harmful types of hydrocarbons. If it's a shallow spill and not considered to be as hazardous, such as fuel, sovent or other contaminants, often the soil is just dug up, put in a pile and the pile is periodically "turned" to allow the contaminant to evaporate. For more hazardous waste, it is often necessary to send it to a special landfill that is designed to handle that type of material.
What else can I help you with?
What is the abbreviation of hydrocarbon?
The abbreviation for hydrocarbon is HC.
What is a hydrocarbon radical?
A hydrocarbon radical is a reactive chemical species that contains a carbon atom bonded to other atoms, typically hydrogen atoms. It has one unpaired electron, making it highly reactive in chemical reactions. These radicals are important intermediates in many organic reactions.
Is H3C-CH2OH a hydrocarbon or functionalized hydrocarbon?
first you need to know that what is a hydrocarbon .A hydrocarbon is a covalent compound in which only carbon and hydrogen is present . Now you can see that in CH3-CH2OH a functional group OH i.e. alcohol. so you got your answer that H3C-CH2OH is a functionalized hydrocarbon.
Is acetone a hydrocarbon?
No, acetone is not a hydrocarbon. It is a type of organic compound known as a ketone.
What is a molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen called?
A hydrocarbon.
What do you call bits of soil removed by erosion?
You call the bits of soil sediment.
How soil erosion occur when tropical rain forest is removed from an area?
I think it is because when trees are removed from rainforest's, when it rains the mud from the soil runs into the water and causes soil erosion.
Does the soil erode when a tree is removed?
Yes, it does because if a tree is planted it holds the soil and prevents soil erosion.
What are salad soil and sugar examples of?
Salads and soil are mixtures, while sugar is any of several hydrocarbon compounds. As a group, they are examples of "agricultural items that begin with the letter S."
Can soil be eroded when trees are removed from an area?
Yes, the roots of trees help bind soil together, preventing erosion. When trees are removed, the soil becomes more susceptible to erosion by wind and water. This can lead to loss of topsoil and decreased soil fertility.
How does soil erosion effect rivers and lakes?
In soil erosion the top soil is being removed or washed away by the higher surface runoff.
What is a bareroot?
A bareroot is a plant removed from soil in a dormant state, from which it can more rapidly acclimate to new soil conditions.
How water is removed from plants?
First by soil-absorption, then by evaporation and photosynthesis.
What would happen if the fertility of a soil if all decomposers were removed?
if all the decomposers were removed the fertility would wouldnt grow :)
What would happen to the fertility of a soil of all decomposers were removed?
if all the decomposers were removed the fertility would wouldnt grow :)
What would happen to fertility of a soil if all decomposers were removed?
if all the decomposers were removed the fertility would wouldnt grow :)
What is the typical soil in a tropical rain forest look like?
It is actually a poor soil and if the rainforest is removed it grows nothing .
