Abstract: The U.S. EPA, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. DOE, and Utah Department of Environmental Quality are conducting a joint demonstration of permeable reactive chemical barriers at an abandoned uranium upgrader site in Fry Canyon, UT. Based on successful laboratory demonstration results, three full-scale barriers were installed in 1997 to remove uranium from ground water . This paper describes emplacement of the barriers. Each uses a different reactive material: Cercona Bone Char Phosphate (PO4), Cercona Foamed Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) pellets, and amorphous ferric oxide (AFO). A schematic illustrates a typical reactive barrier.

Abstract: Fry Canyon has been selected as a long-term demonstration site to assess the performance of selected reaction-barrier technologies for the removal of uranium and other trace elements from ground water. Reactive materials tested here include iron filings, phosphate, and amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide (AFO).
