Treatability Test Report for Application of In Situ Vitrification Technology to Pesticide-, Arsenic-, and Mercury-Contaminated Soils from the M-1 Ponds Site of Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado.

摘要

The M-1 settling basins contain approximately 16,000 cubic yards of contaminated soils and sludges that are being studied to indentify an effective treatment technology. This report documents an engineering scale treatability test to demonstrate the applicability of the in-situ vitrification (ISV) process to the site. The report provides the following information: summary and analysis of the significant test results: description of the ISV process and discussion of the theoretical basis of its operation: description of the treatability test setup, operation, and results; assessment for application of the ISV process to the M-1 basins. Results from the tests demonstrated the feasibility of using ISV to process the contaminated sludge into an environmentally stable and compact glass product.
