ABSTRACT:
A process for regenerating a solvent from a waste extract after use in a remediation process includes monitoring the water content and the amount of organic contaminants in the extract. If the water content in the extract is above a predetermined threshold value, the extract is distilled to yield the solvent therefrom for reuse in the remediation process. If the water content is below the threshold value but the amount of organic contaminants is above a predetermined limit, the extract is also distilled to yield the solvent therefrom for reuse. If the water content and amount of organic contaminants are both below their respective predetermined parameters, the extract is filtered through a molecular sieve to yield the solvent therefrom. The yield solvent is then collected from the distillation and filtering processes, and the regenerated solvent is then reused in the remediation process.
