A method for removal of organic contaminants from solid particulate soil contaminated with the organic contaminants. The method comprises forming an aqueous slurry of a mixture of a hydrophobic adsorbent selected from foamed synthetic materials or natural materials which entrap gas, with the soil in the presence of water. The adsorbent has a density less than water. The slurry is mixed for a period of time, and a gravity separation of the adsorbent from the aqueous admixture thus obtained is effected.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 7, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 7, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 7, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
