Enhanced In‐Situ Biodegradation and Aquifer Permeability Reduction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model describing the enhanced in‐situ biodegradation of an organic substrate in ground water is presented. This model simulates the transport and aerobic utilization of substrate and oxygen; the transport and growth of ...
Desorption Kinetics in Modeling of Toxic Chemicals
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two models describing the sorption of hydrophobic organic pollutants are compared. The models describe interactions in the water column between the fraction adsorbed on suspended sediments and the fraction in solution. ...
Phenanthrene Removal from Soil Slurries with Surfactant-Treated Oxides
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A soil-slurry washing technique to decontaminate soils containing low-solubility nonionic organic pollutants was investigated, using phenanthrene as a model pollutant. The technique is based on first transferring the sorbed ...
Benzene Transport through Landfill Liners Containing Organophilic Bentonite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mineral surface of Wyoming bentonite was modified by replacing inorganic ions by different quaternary ammonium compounds of known molecular structure by an ion‐exchange process. The resulting organically modified ...
Uncertainty Analysis of First Order Decay Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Relationships to estimate confidence intervals for linear regressions were presented to determine the uncertainty of estimates obtained from firstorder models, when the concentration in grab samples of the parameter studied ...
Model Calibration Based on Random Environmental Fluctuations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple model‐calibration technique that takes into account the random fluctuations of field measurements and yields probability distribution of the model input parameters is tested. This technique is based on the following ...
Real–Time Speciation of Uranium during Active Bioremediation and U(IV) Reoxidation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The biological reduction of uranium from soluble
