Description:
Uncontaminated groundwater is needed for agriculture, human consumption, and properly functioning ecosystems. Scientists and engineers are now focused on undoing the damaging effects of decades of contamination by substances such as petroleum-derived pesticides and radioactive compounds. The innovative and cost-effective application of permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) has only occurred during the last five years. This technique involves using readily available minerals, such as clays and zeolites, to absorb and isolate contaminants within the matrix of a permeable barrier.
Expand description
This handbook, the first reference specifically on this topic, is an excellent fit for graduate students and researchers entering this emerging field. Numerous case studies provide the reader with current applications, innovations, and methods for using PRBs in the removal of inorganic contaminants from groundwater. In addition, each chapter contains a section discussing areas for additional research.
