Description
Contamination of groundwater and soil with chlorinated organics is quite
widespread in various parts of USA. Development of technologies to
detoxify groundwater (at Superfund sites) must have long-term viability and
low cost to make the applications successful. Through NIEHS/EP A funding
we have developed both nanosized metal and chelated-modified hydroxyl
radical reaction techniques for TCE and other organic dechlorination.
The proposed DOE/State funded work will optimize the chemical dosage in
lab scale and then conduct in-situ remediation of groundwater in a Kentucky
site.
The scope of the work will involve: (1) Lab work to synthesize larger
quantities of nanostructured metals with uniform characteristics, (2) Lab
work involving column studies and actual water to optimize the dosage and
establish dechlorination efficiency, (3) Development of chemical injection
(and nanopartic1es) protocols for actual site remediation, (4) TCE
dechlorination studies at site(s) identified by the State,(5) Data correlation
involving extent of dechlorination and groundwater flow characteristics.
