Perchlorate Removal, Destruction, and Field Monitoring Demonstration
Abstract
The objectives of this demonstration were to evaluate and demonstrate a complete perchlorate ion exchange process for groundwater that included a unique, regenerable, perchlorate-selective ion exchange resin; an efficient regeneration technique that greatly minimized waste volume; methods for treating regeneration waste from this process that would reduce cost by enabling discharge or reuse; and to demonstrate a new perchlorate field monitor with ppb detection. In order to validate the performance and economics of the proposed processes compared to current perchlorate treatment processes, the following objectives were proposed: 1. Demonstrate perchlorate removal in groundwater from >50 ppb to < or = 5 ppb with a regenerable, perchlorate-selective ion exchange process. 2. Demonstrate an efficient regeneration technique of the perchlorate-selective ion exchange resin. Regenerant volume should be < 0.1% of treated groundwater stream. 3. Demonstrate removal or destruction of perchlorate (< or = 5 ppb) in the regenerant stream enabling discharge or reuse of the regenerant stream.
