Presidential Young Investigators Award: Uptake and Release Mechanisms for Organic Contaminants in Soils and Aqueous Systems

这是一个支持这位总统研究的奖项， 青年物理和化学研究员（PYI） 影响合成有机物迁移的机制 地下水中的化学物质以及这些化学物质 当水从地下提取时， 含水层，并进行水处理过程。 这 项目涉及调查的程度和速度， 天然固体对有机污染物的吸收 土壤和控制机制的确定。 此乃此保华计划的首个基本奖项。 这项研究的结果可能会应用于 工艺和系统的工程设计 有机污染土壤的净化 意外泄漏或物质浸出， 危险废物处置场。 结果还可能 应用于处理工艺的工程设计 用于从水中去除有机污染物。

This is an award to support research by this Presidential Young Investigator (PYI) on physical and chemical mechanisms that affect migration of synthetic organic chemicals in groundwater and the fate of these contaminants when the water is extracted from subsurface aquifers and subjected to water treatment processes. This project involves investigation of the extent and rate of organic contaminant uptake by natural solids found in soils and determination of the controlling mechanisms. This is the initial, base-level award for this PYI. Results of this research are likely to be applied in engineering design of processes and systems for decontamination of soil contaminated by organic chemicals from accidental spills or by substances leaching from disposal sites for hazardous wastes. The results may also be applied in engineering design of treatment processes for removal of organic contaminants from water.
