Green Chemistry and Engineering Opportunity Assessment (GC&EOA) to US Army. A Case Study in Sustainable Remediation
Abstract
This report was prepared under contract for the Army Environmental Policy Institute (AEPI) by the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE), operated by Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC). It discusses specific efforts conducted under Contract Number W74V8H-04-D-0005, Task Number 0469, "Green Chemistry and Engineering Opportunity Assessment (GC&EOA) for U.S. Army". This report presents the sustainability frameworks of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering and uses them as a basis to identify opportunities for environmental improvement and innovation within the U.S. Army. As a specific case study, this report evaluates the Army's activities around the remediation of emerging contaminants and presents a set of sustainability metrics to assist the Army in evaluating the environmental preference of various treatment technologies. These metrics are then applied to a specific treatment technology, namely groundwater extraction and above-ground treatment of Perchlorate.
