Theory and Experiments on Subsurface Contaminant Sorption Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Subsurface sorption systems (SSS) are zones created within aquifers to enhance the contaminant sorptive capabilities of the porous media. These systems could reduce contaminant mobility by as much as three orders of ...
Laboratory Experiments with Heterogeneous Reactions in Mixed Porous Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The limited success and high cost of traditional “active” ground-water-contaminant plume management efforts (i.e., pump-and-treat systems) has stimulated a search for less expensive “passive” plume interception and in-situ ...
Effect of Passive Surface Water Flux Meter Design on Water and Solute Mass Flux Estimates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Standard methods for determining pollutant loads in streams typically require the collection of separate instantaneous measurements of water velocities and solute concentrations at discrete points in space and time. A ...
Modeling Micro- and Nano-Bubble Stability and Treatment Mechanisms in Batch Reactors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Micro and nano bubbles have increased water treatment efficiency in laboratory and field experiments due to the elevated pressure inside small bubbles and their large specific surface area, which enhance mass transfer into ...
Partitioning Tracers for Measuring Residual NAPL: Field-Scale Test Results
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The difficult task of locating and quantifying nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) present in the vadose and saturated zones has prompted the development of innovative, nondestructive characterization techniques. The use of ...
