Reactive Barrier Papers Authored by Geo-Solutions

A reactive barrier remediates contaminated groundwater and soil without mass excavation or disposal. The permeable reactive barrier technique eliminates the difficulties and costs associated with conventional “pump and treat” methods.

To read the following permeable reactive barrier papers and abstracts, you will need Adobe Reader. If you do not have Adobe Reader already installed on your computer, you may download it for free here.
