Abstract: The present invention provides a soil cleaning method. The soil cleaning method is characterized in that after a pre-treatment step of mixing a dehydrating agent in soil to reduce a water content of the soil to 10 mass % or less is performed, a magnetic separation step of feeding the soil whose water content is reduced to 10 mass % or less in the pre-treatment step, to a dry magnetic separator to separate and remove a contaminant in coarse soil as magnetically attracted matter is performed. By bringing the soil into a dry state to separate the soil into magnetically attracted matter and magnetically unattracted matter and collecting the heavily contaminated magnetically attracted matter, it is possible to facilitate separating fine soil from contaminated soil, which makes it possible to easily reduce the content of the contaminant in the coarse soil.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide metal powder capable of decomposing and remedying various range of organic halogen compounds including organic halogen compounds which are difficult to be decomposed by a conventional decomposition and remediation method. Metal powder for decomposition of organic halogen is prepared in such a manner that the metal powder contains at least two kinds or more of metal elements, the respective metal elements forming phases, the respective metal elements therein serving as major constituents thereof, wherein difference in standard oxidation-reduction electric potential between any two kinds among the above-described metal elements is 778 mV or more in absolute value.
