Remediation of Chromium-Contaminated Soils: Bench-Scale Investigation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A feasibility study was performed to remediate chromium-contaminated soil by cold top ex situ vitrification. This paper describes the initial conceptualization of the research demonstration and the results from the bench-scale ...
Role of Geophysics in Expedited Site Characterization: Case History
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Expedited site characterization (ESC) is an environmental investigation approach that focuses on using nonintrusive and minimally intrusive investigative techniques synergistically to efficiently and thoroughly characterize ...
Ground-Water Flow and Contamination Models: Description and Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper follows the work of Reddi and his colleagues, and summarizes the activities of the ASCE Groundwater Quality Committee in fulfilling tasks 4 and 5 outlined in their work. The capabilities and limitations of ...
Management of Solid Waste from Abrasive Blasting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The treatment of structural surfaces with high-pressure blasting using an abrasive medium results in the production of a solid waste. This solid waste contains the original abrasive material and any material that was present ...
Influence of Specimen Size on Leachability Test Results of Waste ST/SO
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on the problem of leachability tests for waste stabilizates/solidificates (ST/SO), with an attempt to describe the influence of the size of test specimens of ST/SO on determined leachability. It was ...
Brownfields Development in Massachusetts through Privatized Cleanup: One State's Solution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As an example of an innovative Brownfields program, the Massachusetts regulatory framework, together with its Clean Sites Initiative, creates a mechanism through a variety of elements that facilitates the cleanup and ...
Sealed-Container Sampling Tools
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers have developed three inexpensive sealed-container sampling tools. Each of these novel tools allows the user to rapidly drill into a closed container, extract a sample of its contents (gas, liquid, or free-flowing ...
Stabilization of Incinerator Ash with High Chromium(VI) Content
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A laboratory procedure was developed and verified for neutralizing highly toxic ash from incinerators that contain extreme quantities of soluble hexavalent chromium by means of stabilization/solidification with an asphalt ...
