However, this method suffers from serious disadvantages, due a series of subsurface processes. Using experimental data and mathematical model simulations, the role of sorption/ desorption and dissolution of non-aqueous phase liquids on the effectiveness of P&T remediation was examined. The results showed that the remediation of groundwater depends directly on the physical/ chemical properties of the contaminants and the hydrogeology of the site. With the exception of water-soluble contaminants occupying relatively small parts of relatively homogeneous and water-permeable geologic media, the remediation of groundwater contaminated by hazardous waste using P&T is, for all practical purposes, impossible and prohibitively expensive.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>28</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>1</first_page><last_page>10</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">199</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000199</doi><timestamp>1714136963</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/199</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
