Soil Washing “There is a need for increased use of new separation technologies (such as soil washing) that reduce the quantity of waste requiring solidification/stabilization, or allow the recycling of valuable metals.” Need for the technology EPA estimates that over 20 million cubic yards of soil at current NPL sites (national priority list) are contaminated with metals DOE (Department of Energy) estimates 3.3 to 200 million cubic yards Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (UST) contribute 56 million cubic yards DOD (Department of Defense) ? Volume reduction technologies!! Soil Washing A technology for volume reduction of contaminated soil Potentially removes ‘mixed wastes’ from contaminated soil so the soil can be returned to the original site References Griffiths, R. A. 1995. “Soil-washing technology and practice” Journal of Hazardous Materials 40(2): 175-189. Semer, R. and K. R. Reddy. 1996. “Evaluation of soil washing process to remove mixed contaminants from a sandy loam” Journal of Hazardous Materials 45(1): 45-57. Examples of Contaminated Waste Sites with ‘Mixed Wastes’ DOE/DOD sites with radioactive metals plus organic scintillation cocktails. Cornell chemical dump near airport: organic solvents, metal salts, ... all dumped in close proximity to each other. Coal gas plants pyrolysis was used to get coal gas (for street lamps) also produced coal tars containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and coal ash that has high metal concentration. Printers ink contained both organic dyes and lead Dumps Possible Site Management Strategies Seal off site (clay barriers, concrete cover, fences to keep people and animals out...) Remove contaminated soil - huge volumes! Remove contaminants using an in-situ separation process pump and treat in situ bioremediation electro-chemical remediation Remove contaminants from excavated soil soil washing, bioremediation, thermal desorption Pump and Treat Limitations Pollutants absorb (within), adsorb (on surface), sorb (don
