Heavy metal and radioactive isotope contamination is common in several sites across the nation, and its remediation is important due to actual and potential detrimental impacts on human health and the environment. This study proposes an alternative and innovative technique for metal mobilization by using carbon dioxide. CO2 in the presence of water forms carbonic acid, which releases the metals attached to the soil particles into the surrounding groundwater. Once in the water (aqueous phase), it is easier to remove and reutilize or dispose of the metals present with currently available technologies. To demonstrate the previous statement, three soil samples were characterized and tested. All soil samples were artificially contaminated. A sol...
