Measuring Phytoremediation Parameters for Volatile Organic Compounds: Focus on MTBE
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental techniques are described for conducting greenhouse tests to examine the pathways for phytoremediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), distinguishing between uptake of the VOC along with water transpired ...
Evidence for Phytodegradation of MTBE from Coupled Bench-Scale and Intermediate-Scale Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents methodologies and demonstrates the need to couple bench-scale and intermediate tree-scale experiments, to fully understand the transport and fate of organic contaminants, specifically methyl
Contribution of Water and Wastewater Infrastructures to Urban Energy Metabolism and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Cities in India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This is a first analysis of end-use energy intensity (EUEI) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in water and wastewater (W/WW) sectors in India, and it examines their contribution to community-wide energy use and GHG emissions ...
Spatial Allocation of Transportation Greenhouse Gas Emissions at the City Scale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for individual cities in large metropolitan areas is confounded by spatial scale and boundary effects that impact the allocation of transportation fuels used for surface transport and airline ...
Optimization of Cementitious Material Content for Sustainable Concrete Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Utilization of fly ash in concrete reduces the use of virgin materials and offers benefits of reduced landfill materials and
Assessing Multicomponent DNAPL Biostabilization Potential. II: Aroclor 1242
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Aroclors are dense nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) composed of polychlorinated biphenyls, which are common subsurface contaminants. Because complete remediation of Aroclor is very difficult, biostabilization may offer ...
Assessing Multicomponent DNAPL Biostabilization.I: Coal Tar
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Subsurface spills of high-molecular weight, multicomponent, dense nonaqueous-phase liquids (DNAPLs) are intractable for remediation by conventional techniques. This paper introduces the concept of biostabilization of the ...
