| Abstract |
In situ radio frequency heating is performed by applying electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency band to an array of electrodes placed in bore holes drilled through the contaminated soil. The process removes organic contaminants from large volumes of soil by volatilization, boiling or steam stripping. The feasibility of the process for the treatment of fuel spills was proven in a field test. The soil was heated to a temperature range of 150 degrees to 160 degrees C. The feasibility of removing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) from soil was demonstrated in the laboratory. Soils spiked with 1000 ppm of Aroclor 1242 were heated. |
