Developing New in-situ Land Remediation Technologies: from Laboratory to Field Scale

摘要：

In-situ contaminated land remediation technologies (i.e. methods where soil or groundwater is treated in place, without being brought to the land surface) may have a number of distinct advantages over conventional remediation clean-up methods such as disposal to landfill, notably reduced costs and carbon footprint, and reduction in exposure risks. Despite a range of successful field trials however, the general uptake of these technologies by the contaminated land industry remains relatively low. This paper presents a detailed case study of the field-scale development of a novel, on-site and in-situ electrokinetic land remediation technology at the University of Brighton, based on two large-scale pilot trails on chromium and plutonium-contaminated soils. The obstacles or barriers to the large-scale use of this, and similar in-situ, technologies are reviewed, and ways in which these barriers may be overcome are evaluated.
