Title: Study on PRB Remediation of Groundwater Polluted by Chromium
Abstract: In this paper,zero valent iron and activated carbon were used to design permeable reactive barrier(PRB) to study the feasibility and the efficiency of PRB technology in the remediation of chromium-polluted groundwater.The results showed that activated carbon absorbed some chromium,zero valent iron strongly reduced Cr(Ⅵ),and the synergic effects can improve the remediation capacity of Fe0 PRB,Cr(Ⅵ) decreased from 100 mg/L to less than 0.05 mg/L,which meets the water quality standard for drinking water.Dynamic PRB flushing experiments showed that the Cr3+ generated from Cr6+ were reduced to form Cr(OH)3 and precipitated other than transported to the downstream water body.Based on the lab experimental results,it is feasible to remediate Cr(Ⅵ)polluted groundwater by Fe0 PRB.
