Abstract: Rapid degradation of aqueous trichloroethylene (TCE) was observed in batch experiments conducted with soil/bentonite slurry wall materials amended with the addition of zero-valent iron. The first-order TCE decay constants ...

Abstract: The preliminary design of iron-based permeable reactive barriers is often accomplished using analytic expressions for one-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport. Typically, one or more of the governing ...

Abstract: Recently, calcium magnesium acetata (CMA) was identified by the Federal Highway Administration as a potentially suitable, noncorrosive road deicer substitute for sodium and calcium chloride. Research on the environmental ...

Abstract: Four materials with high sorptive capacities for organic compounds [granular activated carbon (GAC), shale, benzyltriethylammonium-bentonite (BTEA-bentonite), and hexadecyltrimethylammonium-bentonite (HDTMA-bentonite)] ...

Abstract: The design of a compacted soil liner that includes sorptive amendments is presented and evaluated as a combinatorial optimization problem. An objective function based on the materials costs, opportunity costs, and construction ...

Abstract: The analytic-element method (AEM) is an appealing technique for modeling steady-state groundwater flow at the supraregional scale (defined here as
