Abstract

During 1990, on behalf of DOE's Office of Technology Development, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) conducted a competitive procurement of research and development projects addressing soil remediation, groundwater remediation, site characterization, and contaminant containment. Fifteen contracts were negotiated in these areas. This report documents work performed as part of the Private Sector Research and Development Program sponsored by the DOE's Office of Technology Development within the Environmental Restoration and W a s t e Management Program. The research and development work described herein was conducted under contract to ANL. On behalf of DOE and ANL, I wish to thank the performing contractor and especially the report authors for their cooperation and their contribution to development of new processes for characterization and remediation of DOE's environmental problems. We anticipate that the R&D investment described here will be repaid many-fold in the application of better, faster, safer, and cheaper technologies.
