Long-term performance of permeable reactive barriers has been investigated in laboratory experiments using elemental iron and hydroxyapatite as reactive materials and uranium as contaminant. Accelerated testing has been performed by applying elevated pollutant concentration and an increased flow velocity. The spatial distribution of uranium in the test columns has been investigated using a radioactive tracer. The results show that the migration pattern exhibits a linear behaviour.
Langzeitbeständigkeit von permeablen reaktiven Wänden zur Sanierung kontaminierter Grundwässer
(2003)
Die Reduzierung von Schadstoffen im Grundwasser mit reaktiven Wänden ist eine neuartiges passives Sanierungsverfahren. Die am häufigsten angewandten Dekontaminierungsprozesse sind dabei chemische Reduktion, Oxidation, Ausfällung und Sorption, die im Bericht beispielhaft dargestellt sind. Blei, Chrom und insbesondere Uran werden unter den anorganischen Schadstoffen detailliert behandelt, da solche Grundwasserverunreinigung in vielen europäischen Ländern auftreten. Baumethoden für Dichtwände und reaktive Wände weisen gemeinsame Merkmale auf. Neben den gewöhnlichen Methoden werden Bohrverfahren, deep-soil-mixing, Strahltechnologien, Brunnengalerien, Injektionssysteme und Biobarrieren angewendet, um reaktive Wände zu errichten. Die Technik der reaktiven Wände besitzt ein großes Potential für die Sanierungstechnik der Zukunft.
Effective cleanup of groundwater contaminated with radionuclides using permeable reactive barriers
(2015)
The mining of natural resources always causes environmental impacts such as land use, large quantities of waste, destruction of habitat, impairment of groundwater regime, and quite possibly contamination of soil, water, or air (Dudka and Adriano 1997). The environmental impact of mining cannot be estimated easily. The concept of total material requirement (TMR) is an attempt to quantify the environmental impact of materials. TMR is the sum of domestic and imported primary natural resources and their hidden flows (Adriaanse et al. 1997). Hidden flows are often not considered in environmental analyses because they are attributed with no cost. However, overburden from mining, earth moving for construction, and soil erosion are major sources of ecological damage. From the mining of minerals to the final products, a number of process steps take place (exploration, mine site development, extraction, milling, washing, concentration, smelting, refining, fabrication), each step being connected to other input flows such as energy or other resources. The hidden flows for metals related to metal ore mining have been investigated by Halada et al. (2001). Table 9.1 lists the data for some metals, together with the data for some other minerals and fuels. The TMR in the United States in the 1990s was between 80 and 100 tonnes per capita; in the European Union (EU-15) approximately 50 tonnes per capita (Bringezu 2002).
Since it was realized that sites contaminated with metals and radionuclides needed treatment, various remediation methods have been and are being developed. Depending on the size of the contaminated site and urgency of intervention, conventional or recently introduced techniques have been used. Conventional techniques include excavation and removal for treatment of soil and contaminants, or the so-called “pump-and-treat” method, in which contaminated groundwater is removed from the ground by pumping and treated in a treatment plant on the surface. It has the advantage of using proven techniques and is easy to control, and the treated groundwater can be reinjected into the ground or discharged in rivers or lakes. Novel methods include permeable reactive barriers, biomineralization, and electrokinetic remediation.
Sustainability has become the conscientious and future-oriented principle of modern resource management and environmental protection because caring for the future is tantamount to providing manageable and healthy surroundings for ourselves. For the foreseeable future, geotechnical and environmental engineers must therefore be concerned with ensuring a healthy balance between extraction, processing, manufacturing, utilization, recycling, and disposal of materials and products.
