Abstract: Adsorption onto activated carbon in a fixed‐bed reactor has been found to be an attractive process for removing hazardous organics from water and wastewater. Current fixed‐bed reactor design procedures can be both expensive ...

Abstract: Finite-element methods (FEMs) that use piecewise linear basis functions (PLBFs) are gaining popularity over finite difference techniques in modeling contaminant transport in ground water. However, utilization of the PLBFs ...

Abstract: Chlorinated hydrocarbons enter aquifers by various ways. Bacteria found in ground water transform the dissolved compounds into one or more intermediate compounds, then into a final compound that is sometimes not biodegradable. ...
