Enhancing the Removal of Chlorocarbons From Groundwater

Experiments have shown that ultrasound could be an effective means of enhancing the removal of chlorinated hydrocarbon contaminants from groundwater by the zero-valent-metal treatment process. This process, which has been a subject of research in recent years, is attractive because it does not involve above-ground treatment or the use of pumps, and because the materials needed to effect treatment are safe and relatively inexpensive.
