Abstract:
Systems and methods to remediate, degrade, and/or remove pollutants within various contaminated environmental solid media that includes contaminated soils and sediments, biosolids and slurries by subjecting a mixture of the contaminated solids and a liquid to acoustic cavitation generated by more than one type of ultrasonic device. One of the ultrasonic devices operates at a low frequency and the other ultrasonic device operates at a high frequency. The system advantageously provide an efficient, sustainable, and easy to handle approach to degrade contaminant, requiring only electrical energy.
