Abstract: The mass transfer of ten organic compounds into high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes is investigated using batch immersion tests with dilute aqueous organic compound solutions. For the concentration ranges tested, ...

Abstract: A modified double-compartment apparatus (MDCA) is used to estimate mass transport parameters of organic compounds through high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes and to investigate the effects of aging and external ...

Abstract: The present study describes the effects of initial alkalinity and various solid alkalinity sources such as calcite, dolomite, and oyster shell on nitrate removal in a sulfur-oxidizing autotrophic denitrification process. ...

Abstract: Substrate-dependent evolution of a bacterial community capable of transforming nitrate was examined in sulfur-based autotrophic denitrification columns. The 16S rRNA genes and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) ...

Abstract: Calcium carbonate–based biominerals are considered self-healing materials in concrete. The morphology and mineralogy of biominerals depend highly on the self-healing efficiency of concrete cracks. This study examined the ...
