GOALI: Stabilization/Solidification and Possible Catalytic Destruction of Organic Wastes Using Reactivated Carbon

毕晓普9630739这是一个奖项，其目的是确定使用再生活性碳、浸渍催化剂的活性碳和波特兰水泥来固化和稳定受污染的土壤和含有潜在环境污染物的危险废物的可行性。再生碳是从去除水中污染物的过程中提取的，但已变得不适合在其来源的过程中重复使用。这项研究涉及确定固化过程在多大程度上导致污染物的固定。导致这一奖项的提案是根据NSF 95-111《学术与工业联系的资助机会》中包含的指导方针提交的。实施该项目的工业合作伙伴是卡尔贡公司和E.I.杜邦·德内穆斯公司。预计该项目的结果将为废旧活性碳的使用提供工程设计依据，这些废旧活性碳不能再充分活化，以便在提取它们以吸附和固定污泥和土壤中的污染物的过程中重新使用。在这一过程中使用废弃的活性碳为大量废弃的活性碳提供了潜在的用途，否则将通过焚烧或放置在安全的危险物质储存库中进行管理。

Bishop 9630739 This is an award the objective of which is to determine the feasibility of using regenerated activated carbon, catalyst- impregnated activated carbon and Portland cement to solidify and stabilize contaminated soils and hazardous wastes containing potential environmental contaminants. The regenerated carbon is derived from processes to remove contaminants from water but which has become unsuitable for reuse in the process from which it has been derived. The research involves determination of the extent to which the solidification process results in the immobilization of the contaminants. The proposal leading to this award was submitted under guidelines contained in NSF 95-111, Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison With Industry. The industrial partners in conduct of this project are the Calgon Corporation and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company. Results of this project are expected to provide the engineering design basis for use of spent activated carbon that can no longer be sufficiently reactivated for reuse in the process from which they were derived to adsorb and immobilize contaminants in sludges and soil. The use of spent activated carbon in this process provides a potential use for a large quantities of spent activated carbon that would otherwise be managed by incineration or placement in secure repositories for hazardous substances.
