Removal of TCE from water with enhanced hybrid aluminas
- Project Earth Industries, Atlanta, GA (United States)
TCE is ubiquitous as a hazardous contaminant in ground water which needs to be removed. We have examined the removal of TCE from water with enhanced hybrid aluminas (EHAs) over the range of TCE concentrations: 5 ppb to 50 ppm. Removal efficiencies of 99+% have been achieved. In some cases TCE levels have been reduced to below 0.1 ppb. The capacity and kinetics of EHAs for TCE removal will be discussed. The ultimate fate of the TCE along with the possibility of catalytic destruction of TCE in water EHAs will be discussed. The removal of TCE as a function of the surface area, pore area, and pore diameter will be described. In addition, the results from infrared studies on of the gas phase sorption of TCE with EHAs will be described.
