Treatment System and Method for Removing Halogenated Compounds from Contaminated Systems

摘要

A treatment system and a method for removal of at least one halogenated compound, such as PCBs, found in contaminated systems are provided. The treatment system includes a polymer blanket for receiving at least one non-polar solvent. The halogenated compound permeates into or through a wall of the polymer blanket where it is solubilized with at least one non-polar solvent received by said polymer blanket forming a halogenated solvent mixture. This treatment system and method provides for the in situ removal of halogenated compounds from the contaminated system. In one embodiment, the halogenated solvent mixture is subjected to subsequent processes which destroy and/or degrade the halogenated compound.

1. A treatment system for the removal of at least one halogenated compound comprising:
a polymer blanket formed from a polymer which provides for the permeation of at least one halogenated compound into and/or through a wall of said polymer blanket; and at least one non-polar solvent received by said polymer blanket, wherein said non-polar solvent solubilizes at least one halogenated compound that permeates into and/or through said polymer blanket.
