Abstract

A double-layer permeable reactive barrier remediation system is composed of a reductive reactive barrier (A) and an oxidative reactive barrier (B), wherein the reductive barrier is positioned upstream of the oxidative barrier. Both the reductive and oxidative barriers are constructed in a framed-box structure whose sides comprise mesh. The framed-box structure of the reductive barrier is filled with modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder, whilst the framed-box structure of the oxidative barrier is filled with sustained-release particles formed by mixing an active oxidant, a stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water. The system is used to remove nitrobenzene from polluted ground water, wherein the upstream reductive barrier reduces the nitrobenzene to produce aniline. The modified zeolite can reduce the production of flocculent precipitate in the reductive barrier body so as to avoid the blockage of the barrier and increase the concentration of Fe2+ in the ground water. The polluted ground water then enters into the oxidative barrier, wherein the aniline is degraded through a catalytic oxidation reaction. Preferably, the active oxidant is a mixture of sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide, whilst the adhesive may be a mixture of Portland cement and fine sands.

Description

DOUBLE-LAYER PERMEABLE REACTIVE BARRIER REMEDIATION SYSTEM AND ITS CONSTRUCTION METHOD AND APPLICATION
Technical Field
5 The invention belongs to a field of prevention and controlling of ground water pollution. Particularly, the invention relates to a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system for use in the remediation of the ground water polluted by nitrobenzene compounds.
10 The invention also relates to a method for constructing the above double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system.
The invention also relates to use of the above double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system in the remediation of the ground water polluted by 15 nitrobenzene compounds.
Background Art
As one type of the organic pollutants in ground water, nitrobenzene compounds are mainly derived from industrial production processes of detonators, dyes, pesticides, 20 medicaments and organic syntheses, etc., and include nitrobenzene,
nitrochlorobenzene, nitrotoluene, nitrophenol, and the like. The ground water pollution caused by nitrobenzene compounds has become a focus in the field of the prevention and controlling of environmental pollution.
25 Till now, the in situ remediation methods commonly used against nitrobenzene pollutants in ground water include:
1) Fe° reduction, wherein a fixed reactive barrier is usually used, and nitrobenzene compounds are reduced into biodegradable aniline substances by the zerovalent iron powder in the barrier body. The flocculent precipitate and the alkalescent 30 environment generated during the reaction results in the blockage in the barrier i
body and inactivation of the medium material, which is harmful to the degradation of nitrobenzene compounds. In addition, the aniline substances generated through the reaction still have an impact on the quality of ground water.
2) Biological remediation, wherein the biological remediation used against the 5 ground water polluted by nitrobenzene compounds comprises the steps of biological activation and biological reinforcement.
Biological activation is a process of infusing organic carbon and other nutritional ingredients into ground water system, so as to activate indigenous microorganism. This technology is restricted by a disadvantage, i.e. the microorganism which 10 degrades nitrobenzene pollutants in aquifer is in a very small amount. Therefore, its activation accumulation is a slow process, and thus a long remediation period is required.
Biological reinforcement is carried out by infusing allopatric degradation microorganism into ground water system after the microorganism is cultured, 15 acclimatized and loaded. The major disadvantages of this process include the high cost, the difficulty in infusing microorganism into aquifer, and the competition for a limited amount of resources with the in situ microorganism. In addition, because of the flowing of ground water and a weaker affinity between the thalli and the aquifer medium, etc., a severe loss of the reinforced microorganism occurs, so that the 20 effect of the biological remediation is harmed and the cost for the remediation is raised.
Summary of Invention
One object of the invention is to provide a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier 25 remediation system.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method for constructing the above double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system.
30 In order to achieve the above objects, the invention provides a double-layer
2
Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, which is composed of a reductive reactive barrier positioned upstream of water flow and an oxidative reactive barrier positioned downstream of water flow.
5 Both the reductive and oxidative reactive barriers are constructed in a framed-box structure, wherein two surfaces vertical to ground water flow direction and two side surfaces parallel with ground water flow direction of the framed-box structure are equipped with meshes.
10 The meshes of the framed-box structure of the reductive reactive barrier are filled with modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder, to such an extent that the level of the filled zeolite and iron powder is above the ground water line.
The meshes of the framed-box structure of the oxidative reactive barrier are filled
15 with sustained-release particles formed by mixing an active oxidant, a stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water, to such an extent that the level of the filled sustained-release particles is above the ground water line.

20 zeolite and zerovalent iron powder are in a ratio by mass of 1:0.5-0.9; and the sustained-release particles is prepared by mixing the active oxidant, stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water in a ratio by mass of 1:1.4-1.7: 0.5-0.7: 0.9-1.2 followed by granulation.
25 In the double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, the oxidized sustained-release particles have an average particle size of 4mm; the active oxidant is a mixture of sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide in a ratio by mass of 1:0.05-0.07; and the stable curable adhesive is a mixture of portland cement and fine sands in a ratio by mass of 1:0.13-0.15.

The invention also provides a method for constructing the above double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, comprising the steps of
1) digging two channels at the predetermined positions spaced by a distance;
2) producing framed boxes in accordance with the width, depth and thickness 5 of the channels, equipping the two surfaces and the two side surfaces of the framed box with meshes, installing two framed boxes in the channels respectively to allow the two surfaces of the framed box to be vertical to the water flow direction, so as to form the frames of the reductive reactive barrier and the oxidative reactive barrier, wherein the reductive reactive barrier is io positioned upstream of water flow and the oxidative reactive barrier is positioned downstream of water flow; and
3) filling the reductive reactive barrier with mixed modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder and filling the oxidative reactive barrier with oxidized sustained-release particles, to such an extent that both the level of the mixed
15 modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder and the level of the oxidized sustained-release particles are above the ground water line, so as to accomplish the installation of the double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system.
20 In the method for constructing a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, the thicknesses of the oxidative reactive barrier and reductive reactive barrier are calculated according to the retention time of water flow and the permeability coefficient of the filling materials; the formula for calculating the thicknesses of the oxidative reactive barrier and reductive reactive barrier is shown 25 as follow:
L=(1-2.5)t*k;
wherein, L represents the thickness of the oxidative reactive barrier or reductive reactive barrier in a unit of meter, t represents the retention time of water flow in a unit of day, and k represents the permeability coefficient of the filling materials in a 30 unit of meter/day.
In the method for constructing a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, the modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder are in a ratio by mass of 1:0.5-0.9; and the sustained-release particles is prepared by mixing the 5 active oxidant, stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water in a ratio by mass of 1: 1.4-1.7: 0.5-0.7: 0.9-1.2 followed by granulation.
In the method for constructing a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system, the oxidized sustained-release particles have an average 10 particle size of 4mm; the active oxidant is a mixture of sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide in a ratio by mass of 1:0.05-0.07; and the stable curable adhesive is a mixture of Portland cement and fine sands in a ratio by mass of 1:0.13-0.15.
In the method for constructing a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier 15 remediation system, the distance between the reductive reactive barrier and the oxidative reactive barrier is 1.5-5m; and the depths of the reductive reactive barrier and the oxidative reactive barrier are larger than the vertical depth of the pollution plume by 0.5-2.5m.
20 The double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system according to the invention can be used for remediating the ground water polluted by nitrobenzene compounds. During the remediation, the oxidative reactive barrier is positioned downstream of water flow. While the ground water polluted by nitrobenzene compounds is flowing through, it was first subjected to a reduction reaction with the 25 zerovalent iron in the reductive reactive barrier so as to produce aniline substances, and the acidic environment generated by the modified zeolite can reduce the production of flocculent precipitate in the barrier body, so as to avoid the blockage of the barrier and increase the concentration of Fe2+ in ground water.
30 After the reduction reaction, the polluted ground water enters into the oxidative
5
reactive barrier. The aniline substances in the ground water are degraded into unpolluted small molecule substances, carbon dioxide and water through a catalytic oxidation reaction with the oxidized sustained-release material under the catalysis of Fe2+, so that nitrobenzene compounds are removed finally.

Description of Drawings
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system according to the invention.
15 Specific Mode for Carrying out the Invention
The double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system for use in ground water pollution according to the invention was composed of an anterior reductive reactive barrier upstream consisting of the modified zeolite and zerovalent iron powder and a posterior oxidative reactive barrier downstream filled with 20 sustained-release particles. Nitrobenzene compounds were converted into aniline substances when passing through the reductive reactive barrier, which facilitated further oxidation and removal of pollutants and also provided the catalyzer Fe2+ required for the reaction in the oxidative barrier. A strong oxidant could be sustainedly released from the sustained-release particles of the oxidative reactive 25 barrier, which reduced the erosion rate of the strong oxidant, and avoided the expedited loss of the effective components. The released strong oxidant reacted with aniline substances under the catalysis of Fe2+, by which the aniline substances were degraded into unpolluted small molecule substances, carbon dioxide and water.
6
The remediation system according to the invention was arranged downstream of underground pollution plume of nitrobenzene compounds. The oxidative reactive barrier was installed behind the reductive reactive barrier with a distance of 1.5-5m. The depths of both the reactive barriers were larger than the vertical depth of the
5 pollution plume by 0.5-2.5m. The thickness (L, m) of the Permeable Reactive Barrier could be calculated according to the retention time (t, d) and the permeability coefficient (k, m/d) of the filling materials, based on the formula of L=(1~2.5)t*k.
10 The sustained-release particles filled in the oxidative reactive barrier was produced by mixing the active oxidant, the stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water in a certain ratio followed by granulation. The active oxidant was sodium persulfate and calcium peroxide; and the stable curable adhesive was ordinary portland cement and fine sands.
15
The double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation system has the following features:
1) Fe2+ can be released in the process of degradation of pollutants in the reductive reactive barrier, which facilitates the generation of strong oxidative
20 radicals in the oxidative reactive barrier, i.e. it catalyzes the persulfate ion released from the solid sustained-release particles in the oxidative reactive barrier;
2) compared with nitrobenzene compounds, their reduction products, i.e., aniline substances are more easily to be degraded and removed by the strong
25 oxidative sustained-release particles in the oxidative reactive barrier; and
3) the low dissolution rate of the oxidant in the oxidative reactive barrier can extend the service life of the system.
30
Based on the investigation in the effects and mechanisms of the reduction and degradation of nitrobenzene compounds and zerovalent iron as well as the
7
oxidation and removal of persulfates, the inventor proposes a double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier remediation method which has a combined feature of the activated reduction and self-catalyzed oxidation functions, wherein the reductive reactive barrier is positioned ahead of the oxidative reactive barrier, and 5 nitrobenzene compounds can be degraded into aniline substances. During the reaction, Fe2+ released from the reductive barrier sufficiently facilitates the degradation of nitrobenzene compounds caused by the strong oxidant in the oxidative barrier. At the same time, the releasing rate of the effective components of the sustained-release particles in the oxidative reactive barrier is controlled, 10 which extends the service life of the reactive barrier, thereby reducing the frequency for replacement. The detailed process is shown as follows:
(1) based on the investigation in the hydrogeological condition as well as the range and level of the pollution in a target region, the pollution status and transportation trend of nitrobenzene compounds in ground water was predicted simulatively, so as
15 to determine the positions for installing the double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier;
(2) two channels were dug at the specified positions spaced by a distance of 1.5-5m;
(3) an iron framed box was manufactured in accordance with the widths, depths
20 and thicknesses of the two channels, the two surfaces in the direction of water flow at the left and right sides of the framed box were equipped with iron wire meshes having an aperture of 1mm, the iron framed boxes were installed in the dug channels respectively, so as to form the frames of the reductive reactive barrier A and the oxidative reactive barrier B, as shown in the figure;
25 (4) after the dry, acidic and modified zeolite having a particle size of 1-3mm and zerovalent iron powder were mixed uniformly, the reductive reactive barrier A was filled with the resultant mixture; the oxidative reactive barrier B was filled with oxidized sustained-release particles having a particle size of 3.5-5.0mm. Burnishing was required to be conducted every time when the height of the filling materials 30 was increased by 0.5m; the filling was carried out until the level of the filling
8
materials was higher than ground water line by 0.3-1.5m; as a result, the installation of the double-layer Permeable Reactive Barrier was accomplished; (5) when the ground water polluted by nitrobenzene compounds was flowing through, it was first subjected to a reduction reaction with acidic zeolite and 5 zerovalent iron, so as to produce aniline substances in the reductive reactive barrier, and the acidic environment generated by the modified zeolite reduced the production of flocculent precipitate in the barrier body, so as to avoid the blockage in the reactive barriers and increase the concentration of Fe2+ in ground water; after the reduction reaction, the polluted ground water entered into the oxidative reactive 10 barrier; the aniline substances in the ground water were degraded into unpolluted small molecule substances, carbon dioxide and water through a catalytic oxidation reaction with the oxidized sustained-release material-persulfate ions under the catalysis of Fe2+, so that nitrobenzene compounds were removed finally.

The reductive reactive barrier was filled with a mixture of the modified acidic zeolite and zerovalent iron powder. The oxidative reactive barrier was filled with oxidized 15 sustained-release particles having an average particle size of 4mm, produced by mixing the active oxidant, the stable curable adhesive, zeolite and water in a ratio of 1:1.6:0.5:1.1 followed by granulation. Multiple monitoring wells were arranged in the site, and the concentration of the pollutants in the ground water was detected by sampling periodically.
