Contaminated soil/groundwater remediation using Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) techniques

Abstract

Soil/water demonstration models made from clear perspex are being developed by FOES USQ to observe the performance of crushed charcoal /biochar PRB for removing organic contaminants. Further development of the project will investigate the potential for biochar PRB enhanced with enzymatic bioremediation technology, specifically developed to treat pesticide and nitrate residues in soils and groundwater
