Title: Natural and active chemical remediation of toxic metals, organics, and radionuclides in the aquatic environment

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/254373· OSTI ID:254373

This project focuses on the chemical aspects of remediation, with the underlying theme that chemical remediation does occur naturally. Included are studies on the fate of heavy metal and organic contaminants discharged into aquatic environments; accurate assay metal contaminants partitioned into soils, water and tissue; development of novel polymeric membranes and microporous solids for the entrapment of heavy metals; and the development of hybrid chemo-enzymatic oxidative schemes for aromatics decontamination. 49 refs.
