RISIndustrial Spills and Water Distribution: Crude MCHM Sorption and Desorption in Polymer Pipes and Linings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In response to industrial chemical spills that potentially contaminate drinking water and distribution systems, this study investigated sorption and desorption of odorous crude [(4-methylcyclohexyl)methanol] (MCHM) into ...
Predicting Permeation of Organic Contaminants into Polyethylenes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model was developed and validated for predicting solubility and diffusion coefficients for contaminants permeating polyethylene (PE) materials used for water pipes and geomembranes. Model development was based on diffusivity ...
Contaminant Diffusion, Solubility, and Material Property Differences between HDPE and PEX Potable Water Pipes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objectives of this work were to identify differences between the composition, bulk properties, contaminant diffusivity and solubility for new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) ...
Impact of Chlorinated Water Exposure on Contaminant Transport and Surface and Bulk Properties of High-Density Polyethylene and Cross-Linked Polyethylene Potable Water Pipes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of this work was to determine if the aging of polyethylene (HDPE, PEX-A and PEX-B) water pipes by exposure to chlorinated water altered polar and nonpolar contaminant diffusivity and solubility by analyzing new, ...
