Abstract:
Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are one of the leading technologies being developed in the search for alternatives to the pump-and-treat method for the remediation of contaminated groundwater. A new optimising design methodology is proposed to aid decision-makers in finding minimum cost PRB designs for remediation problems in the presence of input uncertainty. The unique aspects of the proposed methodology are considered to be: design enhancements to improve the hydraulic performance of PRB systems; elimination of a time-consuming simulation model by determination of approximating functions

The process of fluid injection into granular media is relevant to a wide number of applications such as enhanced oil recovery, grouting, and the construction of permeable reactive barriers. The response of the subsurface is dependent on multiple factors such as in-situ stresses, fluid properties, flow rate, and formation type. Based on these conditions a variety of response mechanisms can be initiated ranging from simple porous infiltration to hydraulic fracturing.

Permeable reactive biobarrier (PRBB) is a flow-through zone where microorganisms degrade contaminants in groundwater.

Abstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>環境工程學系碩博士班<br>94<br>Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most common oxygenated fuel additive used to increase the octane rating and to enhance the combustion efficiency of gasoline. As a consequence of widespread use of MTBE, it has been found to be a ubiquitous and recalcitrant contaminant in groundwater and surface water due to its physicochemical properties. To remediate MTBE-contaminated groundwater, the passive in-situ permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) with different types of adsorbing media including granular activated carbon (GAC), carbonaceous resin and zeolite wer

Abstract:
Groundwater at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Field Research Center (FRC) is contaminated with U(VI) and Tc(VII), has pH values as low as 3.3, and nitrate concentrations as high as 120 mM. The objective of this research was to determine if in-situ bio-immobilization is a viable treatment alternative for this water. A laboratory column packed with crushed limestone and bicarbonate was used to model in-situ pH adjustment. Denitrification and metal reduction were modeled in columns packed with FRC sediment with ethanol as the electron donor. Two intermediate-scale physical models deployed in the

Abstract:
The strongly reducing nature of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) treatment materials can lead to gas production, potentially resulting in the formation of gas bubbles and ebullition. For this work degassing in the saturated zone of PRB systems due to the production of gases (primarily CO₂ and CH₄) is investigated using the depletion of Aland N₂, naturally present non-reactive gases, in order to identify, confirm, and possibly quantify chemical and physical processes occurring. Dissolved gas sampling and analysis were conducted at three PRB sites designed for the treatment of groundwater

The method develops greatly in the recent years for the dechlorination or completely destroy of pentachlorophenol(PCP). The E-Fenton method is a popular waste water treatment technique that could produce hydrogen peroxide by cathode, which then react with ferrous iron (called Fenton processes). Fenton reaction could degrade PCP by oxidation. The purpose of this study is to estimate the removal of PCP by E-Fenton coupled with PRB in a

The bioremediation capabilities were evaluated by introducing biostimulation (addition of oxygen-releasing materials and nitrogen) and bioaugmentation (addition of BTEX-degrading cultures).
