The values of infrared energy reflected from the surface with the contaminant at the first and second wavelengths are also determined (102).

Upon activation, the material eradicates the contaminant.

Upon receiving a reflected optical waveform from the unknown contaminant, determining whether the unknown contaminant correlates to the known contaminant based on the reflected waveform.

Contacting water bearing the contaminant with the substrates can substantially reduce contaminant levels therein.

Extraction wells (36) evacuate the heated contaminant.

The reduction in concentration of a contaminant may be sufficient so as to effect remediation of the fluid with respect to the contaminant.

The contaminant-enriched absorbent stream (30) is separated in a regenerator (3), thereby obtaining a contaminant- depleted absorbent stream (60) at a bottom of the regenerator (3), and a contaminant-enriched stream (50).

The contaminant-depleted absorbent stream (60) is reused.

The noble metal is magnetically separated from the contaminate.

Thus, the removal of a contaminant contained in the specimen is completed.

contaminant” has the same meaning as in the Environmental Protection Act; (“contaminant”)

A contaminant is removed from a gas in a method in which the gas is contacted with a solvent for the contaminant, and the resultant solution is contacted with intercalated graphite onto which the contaminant is adsorbed.

The unit (31, 70) contains a contaminant binding resin (34) and a mechanical filter (14), which removes both soluble and insoluble forms of the contaminant.

Using the method of the present invention can bend the link plate in a very short time without fewer environments contaminated.

A method of repairing a component includes immobilizing a contaminant within the component; and weld repairing the component subsequent to immobilizing the contaminant.
