Over the past 25 years, about 750,000 sites with potential contamination have been reported to federal or state authorities. Heavy metals are the largest class of contaminants and also the most difficult to treat. This work focuses on the removal of lead from aqueous solution. Lead pollution impacts all systems of the human body. Many methods utilized to remove lead from wastewater have shortcomings. Alkaline Ash Material Permeable Reactive Barrier (AAM-PRB) is a newly developed novel material made with fly ash alkaline activating solution and filler material (sand and coarse aggregates). AAM-PRB was used to remove lead (Pb) from contaminated water. AAM-PRB materials with high permeability were created. Permeability must be high for a reactive barrier material, within the range of 10^-2 cm/sec to 10^-1 cm/sec. AAM-PRB from three ash sources with permeability of 10^-1 cm/sec were produced and crushed into pellets. The effectiveness of various barrier materials in removing lead from contaminated water was assessed, demonstrating the potential of AAM-PRB in addressing lead pollution.
