Abstract: An accurate estimation of source strength of gas in a landfill is necessary to design gas extraction systems. A one-dimensional mathematical model to estimate source strength of landfill gas is presented. The model is based ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into usage of Fenton’s reagent (a mixture of ferrous salts and hydrogen peroxide) to remediate diesel-impacted soils. A number of process variables such as ...

Abstract: Concern over the potentially negative impacts of climate change has resulted in a search for techniques to reduce anthropogenic emissions of methane, a primary greenhouse gas. Microbial oxidation of methane in soils may ...

Abstract: This paper presents two rule-based models based on fuzzy set theory, which can be used to approximately predict the adsorption of nickel and zinc in soils. The models consider organic matter content, cation exchange capacity, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a kinetic model for the remediation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbons by low-temperature oxidation (LTO). The oxidation of hydrocarbons, which consist of a mixture of straight chained, branched ...
