SUMMARY:An underground photocatalytic reactor for in-situ remediation of o
 rganic contaminants in groundwater - Leonard Lim\, CUED

DESCRIPTION:Groundwater remediation is a challenging engineering problem. 
 \nAlthough there are many groundwater treatment technologies\, most do not
  destroy the contaminants\, and require combination with costly above-grou
 nd technologies. Photocatalysis\, which is an advanced oxidation process\,
  has been previously adapted for water and wastewater treatment\, and has 
 shown ability to degrade a wide range of organic compounds. A previous stu
 dy in this research group has demonstrated its potential for groundwater r
 emediation. Therefore\, this research proposes and has developed a novel p
 hotocatalytic reactor configuration\, which is particularly applicable to 
 the remediation of soluble organic compounds in groundwater.\n
