Title: Fenton's Reagent. Innovative Technology Summary Report

Abstract

The Fenton's Reagent DNAPL treatment process is an in situ oxidation method to destroy DNAPLs in groundwater. Residual industrial solvents, primarily Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs), are currently the most significant barrier to successful completion of most large groundwater and soil cleanup efforts. DNAPL pools and residues slowly dissolve into surrounding groundwater to create large plumes of organic solvent contamination with concentration levels far above regulatory limits.

  • The technology of using refrigeration to freeze soils has been employed in large-scale engineering projects for a number of years. This technology bonds soils to give load-bearing strength during construction to seal tunnels, mine shafts, and other subsurface structures against flooding from groundwater, and to stabilize soils during excavation. Examples of modern applications include several large subway, highway, and water supply tunnels. Ground freezing to form subsurface frozen soil barriers is an innovative technology designed to contain hazardous and radioactive contaminants in soils and groundwater. Frozen soil barriers that provide complete containment (V configuration) are formed by drilling and installingmore » refrigerant piping (on 8-ft centers) horizontally at approximately 45{sup o} angles for sides and vertically for ends and then recirculating an environmentally safe refrigerant solution through the piping to freeze the soil porewater. Freeze plants are used to keep the containment structure at subfreezing temperatures. Advantages for this technology include the following: It can provide complete containment; It uses benign material (water/ice) as a containment medium; Frozen barriers can be removed (by thawing); and Frozen barriers can be repaired in situ (by injecting water into the leakage area).« less

  • The 3M-Empore (TM) High Performance Extraction Disks have become the solid-phase extraction industry standard for meeting U.S. EPA requirements for water analysis of various analytes, including Cs, Sr, Ra, Tc, and U as well as several non-radionuclides including Pb, Hg, Sb, and As. These disks utilize adsorbing particles embedded in a membrane, greatly simplifying radiometric sampling and analysis. After liquid samples are passed through the disks, the disks are placed onto planchets or into liquid-scintillation vials for radiometric counting. For field use they are available in Rapid Liquid Sampler (RLS) form; this is a rugged, color-coded, disposable plastic holder (2-1/8'more » diameter), which readily adapts Rad Disks to commercial devices such as the Isco field sampler and 3M attended field sampler.« less

  • The copper cable recycling technology shreds and grinds shrouded copper cable into small particles and an air classifier separates the lighter cable insulation from the heavier copper granules. Contaminated dust is filtered through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter prior to atmospheric discharge. About 15 tons of copper cable ranging from 0.03 to 0.40 inches in diameter will be processed during the November 1999 demonstration. Since The copper cable recycling technology is already used commercially in German power plants to recycle copper, the demonstration is expected to be a technical success. The demonstration is expected to verify the cost-effectiveness ofmore » the copper recovery system compared to DOE's baseline approach which is removal and direct disposal of contaminated copper cable.« less
