Electroremediation of Naphthalene in Aqueous Solution Using Alternating and Direct Currents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The key objectives of this study were to evaluate the use of an alternating current (AC) for the degradation of naphthalene in spiked aqueous solutions and to investigate the effect of current density on the degradation ...
Field Data and Numerical Modeling of Water Balance of Lysimeter versus Actual Earthen Cap
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To evaluate the differences in the hydrological performance of actual earthen cap overlying municipal solid waste (MSW) versus a lysimeter, which is commonly used to measure the hydrologic water balance, a field-scale test ...
Leachate Recirculation Using Horizontal Trenches in Bioreactor Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Leachate recirculation in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills operated as bioreactors offers significant economical and environmental benefits. Subsurface leachate recirculation in MSW landfills is commonly achieved by ...
Leachate Recirculation in Bioreactor Landfills Using Geocomposite Drainage Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The key purpose of this study was to test the use of a permeable blanket made up of a geocomposite drainage layer (GDL) for leachate recirculation in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and to predict the observed leachate ...
Leachate Recirculation Using Permeable Blankets in Engineered Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Subsurface leachate recirculation or liquid injection methods for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are horizontal trenches, vertical wells, and permeable blankets. In this study, results of field-scale testing and ...
Reinforcing Sand with Strips of Reclaimed High‐Density Polyethylene
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The feasibility of reinforcing soil with strips of reclaimed high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated in this study. Strips of HDPE were mixed with Portage sand and tested to determine the California Bearing Ratio ...
Closure to “Reinforcing Sand With Strips of Reclaimed High‐Density Polyethylene” by Craig H. Benson and Milind V. Khire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Special Issue on Bioreactor Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Water Balance Modeling of Earthen Final Covers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrologic data measured from two earthen final cover test sections constructed on actual landfill final covers are presented with predictions made using two water balance models (HELP and UNSAT-H). Both test sections were ...
Field Data from a Capillary Barrier and Model Predictions with UNSAT-H
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water balance data are presented from a capillary barrier test section located on the final cover of a municipal solid waste landfill in a semiarid region (E. Wenatchee, Washington, U.S.). Water balance and meteorological ...
