Abstract
A method includes mixing a contaminated material with water in a wet-type mixing and grinding mill. The water is agitated. The Agitated water goes through the contaminated material. Larger particles are separated from smaller particles by an alternating and mechanical energy field acting in the mixing and grinding mill. An eluate is exposed to mechano-chemically activated sorbens material. The solids are separated from the water.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- mixing a contaminated material with agitated water in a mixing and grinding mill;
- agitate the mixture of the contaminated material and water;
- separating larger particles from smaller particles by alternating forces in the mixing and grinding mill;
- and
- exposing an eluate to at least one mechano-chemically activated sorbens material.

A system comprising:
- a wet-type mixing and grinding mill to receive a contaminated material;
- the mixing and grinding mill having an inlet formed therein, wherein the material is mixed in the mill with water entering through said inlet;
- and
- a sorption device coupled to an outlet of the mixing and grinding mill and adapted to receive an eluate from the mixing and grinding mill, the sorption device comprising one of an adsorber and absorber.
