IMPROVED METHOD FOR SOLUTE TRANSFER BETWEEN SOLID AND LIQUID PHASES

摘要

A method is provided for treating liquid containing known solutes whichcomprises delivering the liquid into a partlyabove ground level reservoir (10) containing a pervious treatment medium (23),the reservoir (10) being lined with a material (20)impervious to the liquid to prevent leakage, maintaining intimate contactbetween the liquid and the treatment mud for a periodsufficient to reduce selected solutes to predetermined levels.
