Chemical Characterization and Toxicity of Bridge Deck Runoff and Impacts to Receiving Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of bridge deck runoff were evaluated at four bridge locations in the state of Nebraska. These bridges represent a range of annual average daily traffic (AADT) ...
Evaluation of Granular Activated Carbon, Shale, and Two Organoclays for Use as Sorptive Amendments in Clay Landfill Liners
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Four materials with high sorptive capacities for organic compounds [granular activated carbon (GAC), shale, benzyltriethylammonium-bentonite (BTEA-bentonite), and hexadecyltrimethylammonium-bentonite (HDTMA-bentonite)] ...
Optimal Design of a Compacted Soil Liner Containing Sorptive Amendments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design of a compacted soil liner that includes sorptive amendments is presented and evaluated as a combinatorial optimization problem. An objective function based on the materials costs, opportunity costs, and construction ...
Influence of Soil Properties and Test Conditions on Sorption and Desorption of Testosterone
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, batch sorption and desorption experiments were conducted for testosterone using four agricultural soils and five clay minerals. Significant differences in sorption behavior were observed between abiotic and ...
