Description
Over the last century and a half, groundwaters have become contaminated by a growing number of organic and inorganic substances ranging
from petroleum-derived hydrocarbons to radioactive compounds, to cancer-causing hexavalent chromium. The importance of uncontaminated
groundwater for agriculture, human consumption, and the environmental health of ecosystems is paramount to the health and productivity
of industrial society. Water scientists and managers are focused on developing cost-effective methods to reverse this trend.
Several
methodologies have been developed, however few are as cost-effective as the use of readily available materials, such as iron and organic
compost, for absorbing and isolating contaminants within the matrix of a permeable barrier. The Handbook of Groundwater Remediation
using Permeable Reactive Barriers presents readers with this latest technology and developments within four main sections:
1. Innovations in Design, Construction, and Evaluation of PRBs
2. Development of Reactive Materials
3. Evaluations of Chemical and Biological
Processes
4. Case Studies of Permeable Reactive Barrier Installations
The Handbook is one of the first references specifically
on this topic. It is an excellent fit for graduate students entering this emerging field as well as professionals conducting research
or implementing this technology.
Audience
Private sector consultants, university and government researchers, regulators/policy makers dealing with the application of PRBs for site
remediation, and graduate students in the areas of hydrology and geochemistry.
