Permanganate treatment of DNAPLs in reactive barriers and source zone flooding schemes. 1997 annual progress report
'The goals of this study are (1) to elucidate the basic mechanisms by which potassium permanganate oxidizes common chlorinated solvents, various constituents in aqueous solution, and porous-medium solids, and (2) to assess the potential for chemical oxidation by potassium permanganate to serve as a remedial scheme involving either source zone flooding or reactive barriers. The research plan involves a combined experimental/modeling study that builds on the extensive previous work in the area of reactive barrier systems, and modeling of reactive contaminant transport. The experimental studies are being undertaken at The Ohio State University by Dr. Schwartz and his co-workers. The modeling work is being conducted in Albuquerque, NM by Dr. Zhang of Intera, Inc. The workplan for this study is designed around the following four objectives (1) to describe through batch experiments the kinetics and mechanisms by which potassium permanganate oxidizes dissolved tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and dichloroethene (DCE), (2) to examine using column studies the nature and kinetics of reactions between potassium permanganate, residual DNAPLs (PCE, TCE, and DCE) and porous medium solids, (3) to represent the process understanding in flow and transport models that demonstrate the potential applicability of the approach, and (4) to apply the resulting computer code in the development of appropriate field tests for assessing the approach.'
