Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for removal of PFAS contaminants from contaminated soil or sediment are provided. Example embodiments provide a water-based ex-situ method and system at a site that utilizes particle size and particle density segregation; deagglomeration, attrition, and retention time and sequential contacts with purified water; a recirculating water system with continual water treatment, and additional modules for destructive treatment of concentrated PFAS. In an example embodiment, the water treatment system of an example PFAS contaminant removal system and process includes ion exchange resin filtration component to remove PFAS effectively.

Abstract: A method and system for removing contaminants from contaminated soil at a site utilizes particle size segregation and particle density segregation to yield a plurality of fractions, whereby each of the fractions are tested and identified for the presence of unacceptable levels of contaminants, and the soil fractions from the contaminated soil at the site corresponding to the identified contaminated fractions are collected for subsequent disposal or treatment, while the remaining untainted soil fractions are homogenized and returned to the site.
