Modeling of Complex Reductive Biodegradation Kinetics of Recalcitrant Organic Contaminants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Three-Dimensional Model for Subsurface Transport and Biodegradation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes and demonstrates a numerical model for subsurface solute transport with aerobic and sequential anaerobic biodegradation. The model can depict multiple constituents in a three-dimensional (3D), anisotropic, ...
Aerobic Biodegradation of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether in Gasoline-Contaminated Aquifer Sediments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Intrinsic biodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in aquifer sediments under oxic conditions was investigated using laboratory microcosms. Aquifer samples were collected from three different areas (source area, ...
Long-Term AS/SVE for Petroleum Removal in Low-Permeability Piedmont Saprolite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A 3.5-year pilot test of air sparging/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) was carried out to determine whether the heterogeneity of the Piedmont saprolite would allow adequate soil vapor velocities and effective vapor-phase ...
Modeling Enhanced In Situ Denitrification in Groundwater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical solute transport model was developed for simulating an enhanced in situ denitrification experiment performed in a nitrate-contaminated aquifer on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In this experiment, formate
Field and Laboratory Evaluation of the Impact of Tall Fescue on Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon Degradation in an Aged Creosote-Contaminated Surface Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A field study was initiated in 1997 to assess the ability of tall fescue grass to remediate an aged creosote-contaminated surface soil. Field monitoring was combined with aerobic microcosm experiments, microbial enumerations, ...
Stimulating In Situ Hydrogenotrophic Denitrification with Membrane-Delivered Hydrogen under Passive and Pumped Groundwater Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A technology was developed to stimulate autotrophic biological denitrification by supplying hydrogen
Multilevel Soil-Vapor Extraction Test for Heterogeneous Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design, performance, and analysis of a field method for quantifying contaminant mass-extraction rates and air-phase permeability at discrete vertical locations of the vadose zone are presented. The test configuration ...
