    摘要: Disclosed is a process for manufacturing underground caverns suitable in one embodiment for storage of large volumes of gaseous or liquid materials. The method is an acid dissolution process that can be utilized to form caverns in carbonate rock formations. The caverns can be used to store large quantities of materials near transportation facilities or destination markets. The caverns can be used for storage of materials including fossil fuels, such as natural gas, refined products formed from fossil fuels, or waste materials, such as hazardous waste materials. The caverns can also be utilized for applications involving human access such as recreation or research. The method can also be utilized to form calcium chloride as a by-product of the cavern formation process.

    摘要: A system and method of disposing nuclear waste and other hazardous waste includes means for, and the steps of, blending a waste stream, which includes either a radioactive waste or a hazardous waste (or both), with a liquid and, optionally, a solid material to produce a dense fluid and pumping the dense fluid into a tubing string of an injection boring. The dense fluid then exits a perforation in a casing of the injection boring and enters a fracture in a rock strata, where it continues to propagate downward until it reaches an immobilization point. The dense fluid may be a slurry formed by a metal and a cross-linked polymer gel or hydrated clay slurry. The metal can be one that has a melting temperature less than the temperature at the bottom of the injection boring. The solid material could also be other nuclear waste or a radionuclide.

    摘要: An apparatus and process for delivering aerosol-based amendments into a subsurface region is provided. The apparatus used to form the aerosol has an ability to restrict the aerosol particle size to a preferred particle size range such that undesired particle sizes are not introduced. By maintaining a proper ratio of aerosol particle size to subsurface pore size, the efficiency of an aerosol introduction can be enhanced.

    摘要: The invention is a method and a composition of a mixture for degradation and immobilization of contaminants in soil and groundwater. The oxidative particle mixture and method includes providing a material having a minimal volume of free water, mixing at least one inorganic oxidative chemical in a granular form with a carrier fluid containing a fine grained inorganic hydrophilic compound and injecting the resulting mixture into the subsurface. The granular form of the inorganic oxidative chemical dissolves within the areas of injection, and the oxidative ions move by diffusion and/or advection, therefore extending the treatment zone over a wider area than the injection area. The organic contaminants in the soil and groundwater are degraded by the oxidative ions, which form solid byproducts that can sorb significant amounts of inorganic contaminants, metals, and radionuclides for in situ treatment and immobilization of contaminants. The method and composition of the oxidative particle mixture for long-term treatment and immobilization of contaminants in soil and groundwater provides for a reduction in toxicity of contaminants in a subsurface area of contamination without the need for continued injection of treatment material, or for movement of the contaminants, or without the need for continuous pumping of groundwater through the treatment zone, or removal of groundwater from the subsurface area of contamination.

    摘要: A method used for in situ remediation of contaminated subsurface ground and subsurface water using chemically or biologically reactive sheets. The reactive or active sheets contain one or more selected compounds capable of recovering, destroying, degrading and immobilizing contaminants in the soil or water. The compounds that will be selected depends on the contaminants to be treated. The compound may be diatomaceaous earth pellets or other porous materials inoculated with selected non-pathogenic microbes, a zero-valent metal such as iron, tin, aluminum and zinc, a leachable compound such as sodium percarbonate or an adsorptive compound such as activated carbon and zeolite. The contaminants may be petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other hazardous chemicals. The sheets are formed by injecting a slurry of the selected compound into the subsurface using hydraulic fracturing where the orientation of the fractures is influenced by cutting and preparing a bore hole prior to the injection of the slurry. Also the sheets may be formed by employing high velocity jet-assisted fracturing using air, water and other fluids. The jet-assisted fracturing operates prior to or concurrently with an introduction of a slurry of the selected compound. The sheets may be formed horizontally, vertically and at angles dipping from the horizontal.
