Abstract
A method and system to remediate soil containing PFAS compounds and organic carbon. Total organic carbon is reduced by heating the soil at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient duration to reduce surface effects between the PFAS compounds and the organic carbon to permit evaporation and treatment of the PFAS compounds from the soil.
Claims24
A method of remediation of soil containing PFAS compounds and organic carbon, the method comprising:
- reducing the total organic carbon by heating the soil at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient duration to reduce surface effects between the PFAS compounds and the TOCs to a sufficient level to permit evaporation of the PFAS from the soil.
A system for remediation of soil containing PFAS comprising:
- a plurality of heater wells distributed in an array;
- the heater well array configured when activated to reduce total organic carbon thereby reducing surface effects between the PFAS compounds and the TOCs to a sufficient level to permit evaporation of the PFAS from the soil.
