Abstract

Abstract

Permeable reactive barrier(PRB) is currently one of the most economical and effective in-situ groundwater treatment technologies, however, the passivation and clogging of pore space due to mineral precipitation, gas generation and biological activity results into performance failure of barrier materials, which affects the lifetime and efficiency of PRB. In order to alleviate or resolve the limitation of passivation and clogging on application of PRB, the progresses and some cases on passivation and clogging of permeable reactive barrier(PRB) were researched and reviewed, and the various types, causes and mechanisms of PRB passivation and clogging were analyzed, including the passivation and clogging types resulted from mineral precipitation, gas generation, influence of pH and biological activities, etc. Especially, primary mineral precipitation types including, calcium-based mineral precipitation, Fe and Al mineral precipitation, and precipitation due to phosphate, silicate and silicon oxide were discussed. In order to improve operation efficiency and lifetime of PRB, the different types, influences factors and running conditions of passivation and clogging were analyzed, which could provide technical support to design PRB structure successfully, improve operation efficiency and service life of PRB, and develop PRB to be a long-term effective remediation technology.
