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 ...
PAHs Removal from Urban Storm Water Runoff by Different Filter Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban storm water runoff is contaminated as deleterious materials wash from roadways, parking lots, and open spaces, and the subsequent discharge into surface water sources, such as lakes, can pose adverse effects on public ...
Mixed-Media Filter System for Removal of Multiple Contaminants from Urban Storm Water: Large-Scale Laboratory Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban storm water runoff consists of unacceptable levels of nutrients and heavy metals, and a mixed-media filter system is proposed to treat such storm water with multiple contaminants. In this study, a two-dimensional ...
