USE OF FUNCTIONALIZED BIMETALLIC MEMBRANES FOR TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED GROUNDWATER AT A HAZARDOUS WASTE SITE IN KENTUCKY
Pacholik, L.C., Master's Thesis, University of Kentucky, 154 pp, 2019
Research was conducted on a portable membrane system that incorporates a functionalized bimetallic membrane technology to treat groundwater contaminated with VOCs and sVOCs at a former organic chemical manufacturing plant in Louisville, KY. Three bench-scale tests were performed with a membrane treatment system using deionized water spiked with the chemical TCE. Results showed that using functionalized Fe/Pd membranes significantly decreased TCE concentrations over time. While further tests should be conducted to verify the results of the preliminary bench-scale tests, the membrane treatment system shows potential for use at the hazardous waste site in Kentucky. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1084&context=ce_etds
