ISSUES OF PREVENTING GROUND WATER POLLUTION BY OIL AND HYDROCARBON WASTES USING PERMEABLE REACTIVE BARRIERS

The issues of using permeable reactive barriers to prevent ground water pollution by oil and hydrocarbon wastes are analyzed. A model of adsorption treatment of groundwater from pollutants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorocarbons and heavy metals is proposed.The formulated problem of synthesizing the optimal model was solved by applying the variational optimization method. Solving the problem taking into account the corresponding limiting condition made it possible to determine the condition for the adsorbent maximum consumption, under which the adsorbent maximum amount will be required per unit cross-sectional area of the adsorption shaft.
