AbstractCriteria for the design of In-Situ Fenton Oxidation (ISFO) is proposed and applied to the development of a pilot-scale treatment of a former refinery site contaminated by hydrocarbons. The proposed criteria takes in account both the regulatory and technical constraints that typically characterize the application of in situ remediation technologies. The proposed design strategy of the ISFO treatment is based on coupling experimental and numerical modelling of the ISFO treatment in an iterative way. Batch tests are performed first, allowing to select the optimal operating conditions and the data on hydrogen peroxide decomposition kinetics. These data, together with the hydro-geological information collected in the field, are then used for the numerical modelling of the ISFO treatment, which allows to define the pilot plant layout and operating conditions and to evaluate the effective delivery of the oxidant and the hydraulic gradient developed in the field. These data are then used to design column scale tests aimed to evaluate the effective hydrogen peroxide longevity, the process performance and the extent of gas production from hydrogen peroxide decomposition.

This paper reviews ten years of research on on-site and in situ bioremediation of chlorophenol contaminated groundwater. Laboratory experiments on the development of a high-rate, fluidized-bed process resulted in a full-scale, pump-and-treat application which has operated for several years. The system operates at ambient groundwater temperature of 7 to 9°C at 2.7 d hydraulic retention time and chlorophenol removal efficiencies of 98.5 to 99.9%. The microbial ecology studies of the contaminated aquifer revealed a diverse chlorophenol-degrading community. In situ biodegradation of chlorophenols is controlled by oxygen availability, only. Laboratory and pilot-scale experiments showed the potential for in situ aquifer bioremediation with iron oxidation and precipitation as a potential problem.

The large scale of the contamination by the former carbo-chemical industry in Germany requires new and often interdisciplinary approaches for performing an economically sustainable remediation. For example, a highly toxic and dark-colored phenolic wastewater from a lignite pyrolysis factory was filled into a former open-cast pit, forming a large wastewater disposal pond. This caused an extensive environmental pollution, calling for an ecologically and economically acceptable strategy for remediation. Laboratory-scale investigations and pilot-scale tests were carried out. The result was the development of a strategy for an implementation of full-scale enhanced in situ natural attenuation on the basis of separate habitats in a meromictic pond. Long-term monitoring of the chemical and biological dynamics of the pond demonstrates the metamorphosis of a former highly polluted industrial waste deposition into a nature-integrated ecosystem with reduced danger for the environment, and confirmed the strategy for the chosen remediation management.

Heavy metal contamination is among the globally environmental and ecological concerns. In this study we assessed the development of the two green algae Schroederia setigera and Selenastrum bibraianum under exposures to 5 – 200 µg/L of Ni, Zn, and Cd in the laboratory conditions. Heavy metal removal efficiency of S. setigera was also tested in 537 µg Ni/L, 734 µg Zn/L, and 858 µg Cd/L. We found that the exposures with these heavy metals caused inhibitory on the growth of S. bibraianum. The S. bibraianum cell size in the 200 µg Zn/L treatment was around two times smaller than the control. However, Zn and Cd at the concentration of 200 µg/L did not inhibit the growth of S. setigera over 18 days of exposure. The S. setigera also grew well during 8 days exposed to Ni at the same concentration. Besides, the alga S. setigera could remove 66% of Zn, 18% of Cd and 12% of Ni out of the test medium after 16 days of incubation. The Vietnam Technical Regulation related to metals should be considered for ecological protection. We recommend to test the metal removal by the alga S. setigera at pilot scale prior to apply it in situ
