Special Issue on Contaminant Mixtures: Fate, Transport, and Remediation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Addressing Climate Change Impacts and Resiliency in Contaminated Site Remediation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Climate change impacts and its resulting vulnerabilities are perhaps one of the most important and yet the most poorly understood issues in the world today. The contaminated sites, specifically those located by coastal and ...
Strength Enhancement and Lead Immobilization of Sand Using Consortia of Bacteria and Blue-Green Algae
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Metabolites generated from microorganisms have a high potential for the strength improvement and contaminant remediation of soils. The consortium of naturally available bacteria and microalgae in soils provides a sustainable, ...
Effects of Leachate Recirculation System Variables on Long-Term Bioreactor Landfill Performance Using Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Bio-mechanical Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study will apply a newly developed coupled thermo-hydro-bio-mechanical (CTHBM) numerical model to a typical full-scale landfill cell geometry with horizontal trenches (HTs) as the leachate recirculation system (LRS) ...
Reliability Assessment of Bioreactor Landfill Performance Using Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Bio-Mechanical Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study presents a reliability-based analysis performed using a coupled thermo-hydro-bio-mechanical model to assess the long-term performance of a typical landfill cell geometry under simulated bioreactor landfill ...
Enhanced Electrokinetic Remediation of Heavy Metals in Glacial Till Soils Using Different Electrolyte Solutions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous electrokinetic remediation studies involving the geochemical characterization of heavy metals in high acid buffering soils, such as glacial till soil, revealed significant hexavalent chromium migration towards the ...
Sequentially Enhanced Electrokinetic Remediation of Heavy Metals in Low Buffering Clayey Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation undertaken to evaluate different purging solutions to enhance the removal of multiple heavy metals, particularly chromium, nickel, and cadmium, from a low ...
Microbial Abundance and Activity in Biochar-Amended Landfill Cover Soils: Evidence from Large-Scale Column and Field Experiments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Electrokinetic Remediation Modeling Incorporating Geochemical Effects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Electrokinetic remediation technology is one of the developing technologies that offers great promise for the cleanup of soils contaminated with heavy metals. However, the performance of an electrokinetic remediation system ...
Evaluation of Biochar as a Potential Filter Media for the Removal of Mixed Contaminants from Urban Storm Water Runoff
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban storm water runoff can carry a wide range of contaminants, many of which exceed federal maximum contaminant levels, into surface water resources (e.g., rivers and lakes). The use of filtration systems has received ...
