An in situ method of cleaning contaminated soil and/or water comprises breaking up contaminated soil, admixing soil with water and a biodegradable detergent in a proportion effective to obtain an aqueous slurry where the contaminant and the detergent interact, allowing the slurry to stand under conditions effective to permit any contaminant-detergent formations to rise in the aqueous slurry, separating the contaminant-detergent formations from the aqueous slurry, now comprising partially decontaminated soil and water, separating the soil from the water, repeating the cleaning and separation steps until the soil has less contaminant than a predetermined value, typically a 80 to 90 percent decrease, admixing the low contamination-soil with water and an activating agent for contaminant-degrading microorganism, the agent being capable of generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in solution, allowing the activating agent to interact with soil microorganisms in the aqueous mixture under conditions effective to degrade any contaminants remaining therein, separating the activating agent-treated soil from the aqueous mixture comprising the microorganisms, washing the separated soil and returning it to the original environment site, filtering the previously separated water to separate any contaminants, and recycling the filtered water into the system or returning it to the environment. An apparatus for performing the process is also disclosed.

An in situ method of cleaning contaminated soil comprising (a) breaking up contaminated soil; (b) admixing soil with water and a biodegradable detergent in a proportion effective to obtain an aqueous slurry where the soil and any contaminant and the detergent interact; (c) allowing the slurry to stand under conditions effective to permit any contaminant-detergent formations to rise in the aqueous slurry; (d) separating the contaminant-detergent formations from the aqueous slurry which now comprises partially decontaminated soil and water; (e) separating the partially decontaminated soil from the water phase; (f) repeating steps (b) through (e) until the soil has a content of contaminant lower than a predetermined value; (g) admixing the low contaminant soil with water and an activating agent for contaminant-degrading soil-indigenous microorganisms, the agent being capable of generating H2O2in solution; (h) allowing the microorganisms to interact with the aqueous mixture comprising the microorganism activating agent under conditions effective to substantially degrade contaminant remaining therein; (i) separating the activating agent-treated soil from the aqueous mixture comprising the activating agent; (j) washing the separated soil and returning it to the environment; (k) filtering the contaminated water separated in step (3); and (l) recycling the filtered water into step (b) or (g) or returning it to the environment. An apparatus for in situ cleaning contaminated soil and water comprising first container provided with first means for inputting soil, first means for outputting soil, first means for inputting water, first means for outputting water, first means for outputting contaminant-detergent formations, first means of mixing and moving the soil from the first soil input means to the first soil output means, first heating means, first skimming means, and first means for separating water from soil; second container provided with second means for inputting soil, second means for outputting soil, second means for inputting water, second means for outputting water, second means for outputting contaminant-detergent formations, second means of mixing and moving the soil from the second soil inputting means to the second soil outputting means, second heating means, second skimming means, and second means for separating water from soil; third container provided with third means for inputting soil, third means for inputting water, and means for inputting a microorganism activating agent, third means for outputting soil, third means for outputting water, third means of mixing and moving soil from the third soil input means to the third soil output means, third heating means and third means for separating water from soil; means for connecting the first soil output means with the second soil input means, the connecting means being provided with a fifth means of mixing and moving the soil from the first soil output means to the second soil input means; means for connecting the second soil output means with the third soil input means, the connecting means provided with a sixth means of mixing and moving soil from the second soil output means to the third soil input means; means for connecting the third water output means with the site of the contaminated water; means for returning substantially contaminant free soil to the situs, the soil returning means being connected to the third soil output means; at least one means for separating water from contaminants provided with water input and output means; at least one means for filtering water provided with water input and output means; means for connecting the output means of the at least one water/contaminant separation means with the input means of the at least one filtering means; means for connecting the water output means of the first, second and third containers with the input means of the water/contaminant separation means; means for connecting the output means of the at least one water filtering means with the water input means of the first, second and third containers for recirculating water; and means for circulating the water through the water connecting means, the at least one water/contaminant separation means, the at least one water filtering means and first, second and third containers.
