Answer 1

Method of remediating cyanide- contaminated soil.

The method is provided to remediate soil contaminated with cyanide and treat the cyanide, which includes collecting the soil contaminated with first cyanide in a solid state and second cyanide in a gaseous or dissolved state, dissociating cyanide by mixing the soil with an alkali washing solution, dissolving the first cyanide in a solid state in the washing solution, and transferring the second cyanide in a dissolved state dissociated from the soil to the washing solution, dissociating the soil from the washing solution, precipitating the first cyanide in a solid state by acidifying the washing solution containing the cyanide, and performing post-treatment on the first cyanide after the first cyanide precipitated in a solid state is dissociated from the washing solution.

As Many Procedures are involved in removing the Cyanide in the soil. The cost will be incurred in every process as mentioned above and after every process, multiple testing cost will be there to identify the fertility of the soil. Further, the Legal cost will be there along with the testification of 45 Witnesses.
