Frozen soil barriers for hazardous waste confinement
Laboratory and full field measurements have demonstrated the effectiveness of artificial ground freezing for the containment of subsurface hazardous and radioactive wastes. Bench tests and a field demonstration have shown that cryogenic barriers are impenetrable to aqueous and non aqueous liquids. Afetr these tests the US Department of Energy has designated frozen ground barriers among its top ten remediation technologies.
