Proceedings of Soil Decon `93: Technology targeting radionuclides and heavy metals

Description: The principal objective for convening this workshop was to exchange ideas and discuss with scientists and engineers methods for removing radionuclides and/or toxic metals from soils. Over the years there have been numerous symposia, conferences, and workshops directed at soil remediation. However, this may be the first where the scope was narrowed to the removal of radionuclides and toxic metals from soils. The intent was to focus on the separation processes controlling the removal of the radio… more

Monitoring radio-frequency heating of contaminated soils using electrical resistance tomography

Description: Electrical resistance tomography (ERT) was used to monitor a radio-frequency heating process for the insitu remediation of volatile organic compounds from subsurface water and soil at the Savannah River Site, near Aiken, South Carolina. A dipole antenna located in a horizontal well in the unsaturated zone was used to heat a contaminated clay layer. The heat-induced changes were tomographically imaged by their effects on the formation electrical resistivity. The resistivity changes observed appe… more

Toxicity test of the F-Area seep soils by laboratory lettuce seed germination and seedling growth

Description: This study is a follow-up of a similar study done by Loehle (1990). The objectives of the original study were to: (1) measure the toxicity of groundwater contaminated by the F-Area seepage basins where this water surfaces in a seepline along Fourmile Branch and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of rainwater for washing contaminants from the soil. Results of seed germination tests show no significant difference between water extracted from one extraction of F-Area seepline soil, soil from a cont… more

A process for containment removal and waste volume reduction to remediate groundwater containing certain radionuclides, toxic metals and organics. Final report

Description: A project to remove groundwater contaminants by an improved treatment process was performed during 1990 October--1992 March by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited for the United States Department of Energy, managed by Argonne National Laboratory. The goal was to generate high-quality effluent while minimizing secondary waste volume. Two effluent target levels, within an order of magnitude, or less than the US Drinking Water Limit, were set to judge the process effectiveness. The program employed mi… more

Analysis of organics in 643-G groundwaters by GC/MS

Description: Twenty-three of the 63 monitoring wells in the 643-G burial ground consistently contain measurable (> 1 ppm) amounts of total organic carbon, TOC. Of these 23 wells, 10 that contain elevated (2--400 ppm) TOC were chosen for in-depth analysis of semivolatile organics by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, GC/MS. A well located near the site of previous decontamination operations was also chosen for analysis. About 40% of the organic compounds detected in these well waters have been identified.… more
