Pilot-Scale Decontamination of Small-Arms Shooting Range Soil Polluted with Copper, Lead, Antimony, and Zinc by Acid and Saline Leaching
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate at the pilot scale the performance of a chemical leaching process for Pb, Cu, Sb, and Zn removal from a fine fraction (
Laboratory-Scale Flotation Process for Treatment of Soils Contaminated with Both PAH and Lead
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A soil decontaminating process has been studied at laboratory scale for the treatment of one soil polluted by both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and lead (Pb). This process first includes attrition and sieving ...
Hybrid Process Combining Electrocoagulation and Electro-Oxidation Processes for the Treatment of Restaurant Wastewaters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study investigates the electrocoagulation-electro-oxidation (EC-EO) process for the treatment of restaurant wastewater (RWW) loaded with organic and inorganic matter, oil, grease, and suspensions solids. The ...
Metals Removal from Municipal Waste Incinerator Fly Ashes and Reuse of Treated Leachates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Incinerator fly ash from municipal solid waste is considered as a hazardous waste and can release toxic metals such as Pb and Cd into the environment. This research verifies the performance of a sequential, closed circuit ...
Multicriteria Optimization of a Chemical Leaching Process for Sewage Sludge Decontamination
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sewage sludge decontamination requires the removal of toxic metals and it can be performed by chemical leaching. The commercialization of such a decontamination process needs to consider the preservation of the sludge ...
Electrolytic Oxidation of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Creosote Solution Using TI/ IRO2 and TI/ SNO2 Circular Mesh Electrodes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The electrooxidation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in solution was investigated. Most of the PAHs compounds are toxic and hardly biodegradable, so that a chemical or physicochemical treatment is required. In ...
Solid/Liquid Separation of Pig Manure by Biological Flotation: Pilot-Scale Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many problems are associated with pig manure production like high biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents. Manure produces may be used in land spreading for agricultural purposes. ...
Autotrophic Denitrification Using Elemental Sulfur to Remove Nitrate from Saline Aquarium Waters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of this research was to elaborate an effective and economical treatment system to eliminate nitrates from a large marine basin at the Aquarium du Québec. Several configurations of an autotrophic denitrification ...
Lead Removal from Acidic Solutions by Sorption on Cocoa Shells: Effect of Some Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objectives of this work were to evaluate the effects of different parameters (Pb concentration, solution pH, Ca/Mg/Na/K salt concentrations) on Pb uptake by cocoa shells and to study the mechanisms of Pb removal in ...
Simultaneous Electrochemical Leaching and Electrodeposition of Heavy Metals in a Single-Cell Process for Wastewater Sludge Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of a two-stage process that combines electrochemical leaching and electrodeposition of copper (Cu) for the decontamination of sewage sludge was studied in a single cell. The sewage sludge was treated in a ...
