Reaction Kinetic Analysis of Manganese Peroxidase Augmented Aerobic Waste Degradation
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Past research has shown that waste degradation in landfills could be affected by augmenting with manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme via increased hydrolysis of organic waste. However, at present there are no quantification ... -
Effect of Soil Type and Vegetation on the Performance of Evapotranspirative Landfill Biocovers: Field Investigations and Water Balance Modeling
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The water balance performance of evapotranspirative landfill biocovers (ET-LBCs) under Canadian cold climate conditions is evaluated by constructing seven lysimeters at a field site in Alberta, Canada, and monitoring water ... -
Fixed Bed Reactor for Removal of Methylene Blue Dye Using Heterogeneous Fenton Catalyst
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )In this work, the modified catalysts of different loadings of iron (2.5, 5, 10, and 15 wt%) on activated carbon were prepared by an incipient wet impregnation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and ... -
Bioanode-Assisted Removal of Hg<sup>2+</sup> at the Cathode of Microbial Fuel Cells
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The removal of heavy metals from contaminated waters is highly desirable to circumvent their toxic effects on the ecosystem and human health. In this study, we report on the bioanode-assisted removal of mercury (Hg2+) at ... -
Gowanus Canal Superfund Site. III: Leaching of In Situ Stabilization/Solidification Mix Designs
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )An in situ stabilization/solidification (in situ S/S or ISS) field pilot was conducted in the Gowanus Canal on the manufactured gas plant (MGP) impacted sediments using 9 mix designs including 5%–10% by dry weight (wt%) ... -
Parametric Study on Applicability of MBT Waste as Biotic Systems in Landfills for Maximum Oxidation Efficiency
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Exploitation of the natural methane oxidation process in biotic systems in landfills through improved design offers an inexpensive way of reducing methane emissions. Maximization of this oxidation efficiency can promise a ... -
Removal Comparison and Cost Evaluation of 2,6-Dichlorophenol
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )In this study, 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP), 5 mg/L was targeted as a priority pollutant and removed using chemical coagulation (CC), adsorption (AD), and electrocoagulation (EC) processes. Aluminum sulfate (AS) and ferrous ... -
Phosphorus Removal from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption using Silver Nanoparticles: Batch Experiment
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )This work developed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an effective adsorbent for phosphorus removal. The influence of various factors on the efficiency of phosphorus removal, such as the type of AgNPs, initial pH, initial ... -
A Novel Elasto-Thermo-Viscoplastic Model for the Isotropic Compression of Structured Clays
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )In many engineering applications, structured clay layers may be subjected to long-term loading and temperature variations. Review of the technical literature reveals that there are a number of constitutive models that deal ... -
Effect of Heavy Metal Contamination on the Compressibility and Strength Characteristics of Chemically Modified Semiarid Soils
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Rapid industrialization in developed countries has led to a continuous release of heavy metals into the environment. When these effluents are discharged directly into natural surrounding soils, not only is the geotechnical ... -
Multimedia Mercury Cycling in a Legacy Contaminated Tropical Montane Forest (Kodaikanal, India) and Implications for Monitoring and Assessment of Future Contaminated Regions
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )We use a multimedia mass balance model to assess mercury cycling in a contaminated tropical montane forest section, in Kodaikanal in South India. The forest section received more than 1,300 kg of direct mercury release ... -
