(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Most matured landfill leachate contains organic recalcitrant molecules that cannot be easily separated by biological processes alone. Integrating an advanced oxidation process (AOP) and a biological process would be a ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Radionuclide Transport for Near-Surface Disposal Facilities in Spatially Varying Soils
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The long-term safety of radioactive waste disposal facilities is ensured by developing performance assessment models. The general requirement of these models is to assess the risk caused by failure of disposal systems that ... -
Remediation of Typical Municipal Solid Waste Dumpsite in Bangalore City
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper presents an approach to retrofit an existing municipal solid waste (MSW) dumpsite by enhancing the bioremediation process. The current practice of containing the waste in dumpsites/landfills is considered ... -
Waterfront Toronto: Soil–Cement Mix Designs in Sands and Peats for Proposed Brownfields Redevelopment Project
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Fifteen soil–cement mix designs, cured for up to 270 days, were tested on sand and peaty sands from a Waterfront Toronto Brownfields site having a total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPHC) concentration of approximately 20,000 ... -
Enhanced Primary Treatment of Black Water Using Two-Stage Onsite Sanitation System
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)A study was conducted to evaluate the treatment efficiency and applicability of a novel two-stage anaerobic onsite sanitation system to improve primary treatment of black water generated at a residential school. The system ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Microbial Electrosynthesis for Commercial Product Generation
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) uses microbes and electricity to convert CO2 to high-grade chemicals alleviating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Little is known on the environmental loads associated with the scale-up of ... -
Effect of Inorganic Salt Solutions on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Bentonite Based Liner
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The influence of inorganic salt solutions on the physical and mechanical properties of bentonite based liner materials is highlighted. Compacted pond ash-bentonite (PAB) and sand-bentonite (SB) liners, prepared at their ... -
Pb-Zn Smelter Residue (LZSR) Stabilized Using Low-Carbon, Low-Cost Limestone–Calcined Clay Cement: Leachability, Chemical Speciation, Strength, and Microstructure
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The low-carbon and low-cost cement known as limestone–calcined clay cement (LC3) is used in this study to investigate the immobilization potential of Pb-Zn smelter residue (LZSR). The performance of LC3 treatment on LZSR ... -
Evaluating Suitability of Geomaterials-Amended Soil for Landfill Liner: A Comparative Study
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Assessment of cracks are essential for attaining better performance of landfill liner system. This study provides a new vision toward crack prevention in clayey soils. A comparative study of using various geomaterials, ... -
Vehicular Emission Modeling at Toll Plaza Using Performance Box Data
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Delay occurring on any facility causes an extra amount of fuel consumption, leading to extra emissions. Toll plazas are the points laid on the highways for toll transaction that act as bottlenecks on highways. Vehicles ... -
