NAPL Removal Surfactants, Foams, and Microemulsions / Edition 1

by C. H. Ward

Overview

Complete and quantitative, NAPL Removal: Surfactants, Foams, and Microemulsions, belongs to a ten-monograph series that records the results of the Department of Defense/Advanced Applied Technology Demonstration Facility environmental technology demonstrations. It presents the outcome of field demonstrations of innovative in situ remediation technologies.
In situ surfactant and cosolvent flushing for nonaqueous phase liquids constitutes a technique with the potential to reduce the mass of NAPL - a continuing source of groundwater contamination. This monograph details two technologies - surfactant/foam and single-phase microemulsion - selected for their potential to address the needed breakthroughs.
Copiously illustrated with figures and tables, NAPL Removal: Surfactants, Foams, and Microemulsions takes you through the entire field demonstration step-by-step. It describes the development of the processes, analyzes the costs, discusses design issues, and covers performance and potential application.

Editorial Reviews

Specialists in petroleum, environmental, and chemical engineering, hydrogeology, and other related fields participated in a Department of Defense competition to design innovative environmental remediation technologies. 12 of 170 proposals were selected for field demonstrations, and this volume is the first of ten that will record the results from those demonstrations. The three projects in this volume describe a surfactant/foam process for remediation of a heterogeneous aquifer contaminated with DNAPL, single-phase microemulsions for aquifer remediation, and surfactant/foam and single-phase microemulsion technologies.
