Alcoa PCB
removal goal for Columbia River set at 95 percent
Alcoa's
planned Columbia River dredging next fall will remove as
much as 95 percent of the known polychlorinated
biphenyls in the river at the company's former aluminum
smelter site, the Washington Department of Ecology said
today.

We are delighted to create a web site which
is dedicated to the art and science of the removal of
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds. Those of us working in
academic, industrial and government circles are amazed at the
resilience of these compounds. While manufacturing stopped some
thirty years ago millions of pounds of this environmental hazard
remain – to pollute our waterways, our soil and our air.
The
challenge to remove these toxic compounds from our land, sea and
air remains formidable. However advances in technology –
bioremediation and concentration of the agent with subsequent
final disposal are finally at our hands.
The website is sponsored by Dynamic
Adsorbents and dedicated as a resource for an understanding of
the compound, its toxicity and its disposal. Regardless of the
method of disposal the final step prior to waste elimination is
waste concentration….and for that the usage of alumina has
become invaluable.
