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

该奖项的目的是确定使用再生活性炭、催化剂浸渍活性炭和波特兰水泥固化和稳定污染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，但在提取过程中已经变得不适合重复使用。研究包括确定凝固过程导致污染物固定化的程度。该提案是根据NSF 95-111“与工业界学术联络的资助机会”的指导方针提交的。执行该项目的工业合作伙伴是卡尔冈公司和E.I.杜邦内穆尔公司。该项目的研究结果有望为利用再生过程中不能充分活化的废活性炭吸附和固定污泥和土壤中的污染物提供工程设计依据。在这一过程中使用废活性炭为大量废活性炭提供了潜在的用途，否则这些废活性炭将通过焚烧或放置在安全的有害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.
