abbreviated as CDT, a bioremediation technology utilizing cyclodextrin (more exactly random methylated beta-cyclodextrin) for improving the bioavailablitity of the organic contaminants e.g. hydrocarbons, PAHs, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the soil. The time saving by the cyclodextrin-intensified bioremediation may compensate for the higher price of the technology. Further details can be found in MOKKA database (sheets No. 51 and 175).
