摘要

The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant(PORTS),owned and operated by the U.S.Department of Energy(DOE),has produced enriched uranium since the early 1950s.The X-120 Goodyear Training Facility has been operated since plant construction as a machine shop,paint shop,and warehouse space. It is highly probable that the machine and metal shops used solvents and degreasers while in operation. The past disposal procedures for these substances are unknown.The X-120 facilities were demolished and removed in the late-1970s,prior to the more recent construction of the Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plant.Several remedial investigations,however,have identified various VOCs(volatile organic compounds),primarily TCE(trichloroethylene),at detectable levels in the groundwater. rnPhytoremediation technology is based on the ability of certain plant species and their associated rhizospheric microorganisms to remove,degrade,or contain chemical contaminants located in the soil, sediment,surface water,groundwater,and possibly even the atmosphere.Plant species are chosen for phytoremediation based on their potential for rapid absorption of water through evapotranspiration,the degradative enzymes they produce,their growth rate and yield,the depth of their root zone,and their ability to bioaccumulate contaminants. rnPhytoremediation has been chosen as a remedial option for treatment of the groundwater in the X-749/X- 120 area.The hybrid poplar tree(Populus sp.)was chosen for the application as a result of its high growth rate and yield,high evapotranspiration rates,root zone depth,long life span,and ease of growth. The phytoremediation system of 2,640 poplar trees has been planted in seven areas/zones to manage the volatile organic compound(VOC)contaminant plume.Currently the groundwater contains levels of TCE that are above the targeted risk level.The objective of this task is to remove contamination from the groundwater,and prevent further migration of contaminants from the X-749 Landfill.The goal of the remediation procedure is to achieve a completely mature and functional phytoremediation system within two years of the initial planting of the hybrid poplar trees. rnPhytoremediation is a promising clean-up solution for a wide variety of pollutants and sites. Phytoremediation is a passive technology producing no waste during tree installation or during remediation.Mature trees can consume up to 3,000 gallons of groundwater per acre per day.Organic compounds are captured in the trees’root systems.These organic compounds are degraded by ultraviolet light as they are transpired along with the water vapor through the leaves of the trees.Phytoremediation is an in situ technology that produces an aesthetically pleasing environment,and is entirely solar driven, which provides high public acceptance.The plants are normally sold for profit after project completion and the soil remains in place and is reusable following treatment.Phytoremediation is 10%to 20%less costly than mechanical treatments,regarding overall operating costs.
