【 摘 要 】

This project has been focused on equilibrium and transport properties of gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, and solid-liquid systems under electric fields. The objective was to intensify separations methods that are used or can be used to process liquid waste or contaminated groundwater within DOE sites. Examples of processes that have been investigated are distillation (gas-liquid), extraction (liquid-liquid), and sorption (solid-liquid). Effects of electric fields on phase equilibria and interfacial transport have been investigated. So far, this project was directed at basic research on a broadly crosscutting concept. The results advocate continuation of this research in two directions, with the objective to solve problems related to solvent extraction of tank waste and groundwater treatment.
