Descripción: “...This is why in this article reviews the available technologies for treating this type of hazardous waste (Fuller earth contaminated with dielectric oil), dividing the treatments into two streams, physic-chemical technologies and biological, exploring alternatives appropriate and effective treatment. The limited information about existing treatments of Fuller earth contaminated with dielectric oil have guided the review in terms of the technologies implemented in hydrocarbon contaminated soils being the analogy valid due to the similar physical characteristics presented by Fuller earth with respect to a low soil carbon content.Sumário: Desde faz em alguns anos em Colômbia vêm-se implementando convênios e normas para o adequado manejo e disposição final dos resíduos perigosos, como a quantidade gerada a cada vez vai em aumento e ao impacto adverso que estes resíduos apresentam no ser humano e o médio ambiente. ...”
