Abstract

Method and system for soil remediation by flash Joule heating. A contaminated soil that includes organic pollutants and/or one or more metal pollutants can be mixed with carbon black or other conductive additive to form a mixture. The mixture then undergoes flash Joule heating to clean the soil (by the decomposing of the organic pollutants and/or removing of the one or more toxic metals, such as by vaporization).
