Identifying the Advantages of Using Municipal Solid Waste Bottom Ash in Combination with Rice Husk and Bamboo Biochar Mixtures as Soil Modifiers: Enhancement of the Release of Polyphenols from a Carbon Matrix
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Incineration is one of the most popular options used to treat waste in highly populated developed countries. It is crucial to find an environmentally acceptable alternative for the disposal of municipal solid waste ... -
Adsorption Characteristics of Modified Wheat Husk for the Removal of a Toxic Dye, Methylene Blue, from Aqueous Solutions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Adsorption characteristics of modified wheat husk for the removal of a toxic cationic dye, methylene blue, from aqueous solutions have been investigated. The adsorbent, wheat husk, was characterized by Fourier transform ... -
Service Life of HDPE Geomembranes Subjected to Elevated Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Subtitle D landfills may experience elevated temperatures for a variety of reasons such as hydration of combustion ash, waste biodegradation with and without leachate recirculation, aluminum production waste and combustion ... -
Kinetic Parameters and Mechanism of Zn (II) Adsorption on Lignite and Coconut Shell–Based Activated Carbon Fiber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The adsorption of Zn (II) on lignite and coconut shell–based activated carbon fiber (ACF) was studied using a batch process to determine the governing mechanism of Zn (II) removal and the most suitable kinetic model. Zn ... -
Effective Vertical Solute Transport in Soils by Artificial Macropore System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Solute transport is an important factor governing soil environmental processes, such as effective fertilizer application or dispersion areas of remediation chemicals for contaminated soils. Macropores are ubiquitous in ... -
Dual Removal Process of Phosphate on Ca-Layered Double Hydroxide with Substitution of Fe for Al

Behavior of Cellular-Reinforced Fly-Ash Walls under Strip Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In India, pulverized coal is used at thermal power stations as a fuel to generate electricity, thereby producing enormous quantities of fly ash. The amount of fly ash has been increased with the increasing demand of electric ... -
Two-Phase Modeling of Leachate Recirculation Using Vertical Wells in Bioreactor Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Leachate recirculation or liquid injection is an established practice for operating landfills as bioreactors to enhance the biodegradation of municipal solid waste (MSW). Among other subsurface liquid injection methods, ... -
Removal of Toxicity, COD, and Fe from a Metal-Working Facility UF Permeate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A metal-working facility employs two ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems to treat spent metal working fluids and oily waste from sumps and other nonpoint sources. The facility is regulated for oil/grease, toxicity and ... -
Preparation of Ultrafine Copper Oxide Using Metal Powders Recovered from Waste Printed Circuit Boards
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) have an inherent value because of nonferrous metal copper and noble metals. From the viewpoint of resource recycling and environmental protection, it is significant to recover metal ... -
Case Study of Controlled Air Addition into Landfilled Municipal Solid Waste: Design, Operation, and Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The addition of air to landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) was examined at an operating bioreactor landfill in Florida. An air-addition system was designed to provide sufficient capacity to aerobically degrade a targeted ... -
Moisture Addition Requirements for Bioreactor Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The conversion of a traditional sanitary landfill to a bioreactor landfill typically involves the addition of moisture to the landfill to create an environment that promotes anaerobic waste stabilization. The objective of ... -
Critical Review of Anaerobic Biodegradation of Benzenediols: Catechol, Resorcinol, and Hydroquinone
