Funded Activity Summary

Reactive barriers for the remediation of fluoride contamination in groundwater. This project will build the first pilot scale calcite permeable reactive barrier for the remediation of fluoride contamination in groundwater at VAW aluminium. At VAW, fluoride has contaminated groundwater at concentrations up to 3000mg/L, levels far higher than the drinking water guideline value of 1.5mg/L. The barrier design will be based on laboratory work from a previous SPIRT project with VAW and the CIs which has shown that calcite can remove 99% of fluoride contamination from water. The project will prove the technology at the field scale and provide the basis for its application to other contaminants.
