Remediation of soil impacted with chlorinated organic compounds: soil mixing with zero valent iron and clay
Altmetrics
Abstract
Chlorinated solvents in the environment continue to present an enormous remediation challenge. A primary reason for the difficulty in cleaning up chlorinated solvent source zones involves heterogeneous distributions of permeability and contaminants in natural porous media. A method that can be used to overcome heterogeneity involves use of soil mixing techniques to deliver reagents and homogenize soils. A typical soil mixing application involves admixing contaminated soil with zero valent iron (ZVI) and bentonite (clay). This technology, herein referred to as ZVI-Clay, combines ZVI-mediated ...
