Abstract
Composting is an emerging remediation technology for soils contaminate d with hazardous chemicals; however, many aspects of the technology st ill need to be evaluated before receiving full support from regulatory agencies and scientific communities. In this article, we review remed iation composting technology for soils contaminated with explosive com pounds. This review includes biotransformation of explosives during co mposting, relevant composting process principles and parameters involv ing kinetics, mass and heat transfer, and energy balance.
