Treatability studies of groundwater contaminated with bis(2-chloroethyl) ether

摘要

The groundwater aquifer underneath a chemical manufacturing plantin Southeast Texas has been contaminated with the leachate from itslandfill. There are 17 major chlorinated hydrocarbon contaminantsfound in the groundwater with concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to1200 ppm. An air-stripping unit followed by a thermal catalyticoxidation unit is currently operating on-site to remove all of thechlorinated compounds from the contaminated groundwater.
