THERMAL DESORPTION TREATMENT OF DIOXIN CONTAMINATED SOIL AT THE FORMER ALLIED FEEDS SITE, SYDNEY AUSTRALIA

摘要

The former Allied Feeds site is located on the Rhodes Peninsula adjacent to the Homebush Bay, in Sydney, Australia. The adjacent Lednez site was historically used for manufacturing a range of chemicals, including tar, explosives and chlorinated compounds. Through these activities, both sites and the Homebush Bay were contaminated with dioxins/furans, chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). Both properties are currently being remediated for open space, medium and high-density residential use, and commercial development. The Lednez site remediation activities also include dredging and treating contaminated sediments from Homebush Bay. Combined, these projects represent the largest dioxin remediation project that has been undertaken in the world using a thermal treatment technology.
