Description:
This document concerns the use of permeable reactive subsurface barriers for the remediation of plumes of chlorinated hydrocarbons and Cr(VI) species in ground water, using zero-valent iron (Fe0) as the reactive substrate. Such systems have undergone thorough laboratory research, pilot-testing, and are now being installed as full-scale remedial technologies at field sites. Although research is progressing for other contaminants and different reactive substrates, these technologies are not as mature and will not be considered in this document.
