MOhemp Hazmat Phytoremediation Diagrams

___________

The following diagrams are examples of the proposed

 MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage phytoremediation treatment train 

This couples the benefits of low cost phytoremediation and phytoextraction techniques for the Westlake Landfill and Coldwater Creek areas to naturally remove hazmat soil contaminants.

The landfill is divided into multiple sectors, within which are two operable units (OU), OU-1 and OU-2.  In addition to the radioactivity from the dumped barium sulfate cake, soil samples also indicate the presence of many more radioactive materials, including uranium, thorium, and elements resulting from their decay.

• OU-1 covers 940 cubic yards (720 m3) on the surface (based on soil depth of 6 inches or 150 millimetres) and 24,000 cubic yards (18,000 m3) subsurface

• OU-2 covers 8,700 cubic yards (6,700 m3) on the surface and 109,000 cubic yards (83,000 m3) subsurface

MOhemp Hazmat 5 Stage Treatment Train

Here is how MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage Phytoremediation process fits another scenario in the Treatment Train to remove the heavy metal toxins from the soil at St Louis Hazmat Sites.

This snippet of information from 

Phytoremediation for bioenergy: challenges and opportunities S.Gomes

Helena I. Gomes (2012) Phytoremediation for bioenergy: challenges and opportunities

 MOhemp Hazmat 5 stage process not only addresses the opportunities and threats.  It speeds up the phytoextraction process of Heavy Metals Toxic Removal.

Stage 1: Riparian Buffer
Stage 2: Organic Micro Fungi Stimulation and Habitat Creation
Stage 3: Solar Powered Electro-Horticulture 
Stage 4: Organic Tea Root Stimulation and Dust Control
Stage 5: Phytoremediation by Phytoextraction

All of which will provide a greater biomass resources that will offset the financial costs to implement the MOhemp Hazmat 5 Stage Phytoremediation green remediation treatment strategy.

A riparian buffer is a vegetated area ...which help partially protect a stream from the impact of adjacent land uses. It plays a key role in increasing water quality in associated streams, rivers, and lakes, thus providing environmental benefits (Wiki)

The following hillside on the Westlake Landfill Nuclear Waste Dumpsite where water flowed into the city sewers is an example of where a riparian buffer could be utilized to protect the Nuclear Waste contaminants from entering the city water system or the Mississippi and Missouri River.
