Aging Effects in Field-Compacted Dredged Material: Steel Slag Fines Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)This paper contains the results of aging study performed on 365-day-old trial highway embankments constructed of field-compacted dredged material (DM), steel slag fines (SSF), and three DM-SSF blends. Key findings include ... -
Degradation of Organic Pollutants by Wet Air Oxidation Using Nonnoble Metal-Based Catalysts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Phenol is a major organic pollutant found in wastewater streams generating from several industries. The presence of excess phenol makes the wastewater unsuitable for conventional biological treatment. The present study was ... -
Evaluating Groundwater Contamination Hazard Rating of Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in India and Europe Using a New System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Uncontrolled municipal solid waste landfills potentially release harmful substances to the subsurface in the form of leachate, thus posing a significant hazard of groundwater contamination. The evaluation of groundwater ... -
Using Conditional Probability to Predict Solar-Powered Pump-and-Treat Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The purpose of remediation projects is to protect human health and the environment by removing harmful substances from the environment. The carbon footprint of an environmental remediation site can be reduced by powering ... -
Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in Jalandhar City, Punjab, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Characterization of the existing municipal solid waste (MSW) in Jalandhar, India, has been performed to evaluate its suitability for various waste-processing technologies. The predominance of open dumping and the absence ... -
Calcium Fluoride Sludge Added into Ceramics Made with Serpentine and Kaolin Tailing Wastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)To solve the problems with disposing of sludge and mine tailings, calcium fluoride sludge (CFS) was tested as a component for producing ceramics made by using serpentine tailing waste (STW) and kaolin tailing waste (KTW). ... -
Centrifuge and Numerical Study on the Behavior of Clay-Based Landfill Covers Subjected to Differential Settlements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The objective of this paper is to evaluate the deformation behavior of clay-based landfill covers subjected to differential settlements through centrifuge model studies and finite-element analyses (FEA). A series of ... -
Alkaline Hydrolysis of Resin-Based Combustible Cartridge Case and Application of its Hydrolysate as Crop Fertilizer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Disposal of hazardous and toxic waste arising out of combustible cartridge case (CCC)–based explosive munitions is an environmental issue of global concern. A large quantity of CCC waste is disposed of by open burning or ... -
Treatment of Pharmaceutical Wastewater by Electrochemical Method: Optimization of Operating Parameters by Response Surface Methodology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The treatment of a high-strength pharmaceutical wastewater (PW) has been carried out using two different electrochemical processes [i.e., electrocoagulation (EC) using aluminium and electrooxidation (EO) using carbon ... -
Recovery of Uranium, Plutonium, and Neptunium from High-Level Waste Solutions prior to Actinide Partitioning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The prior removal of uranium along with plutonium and neptunium from high-level waste (HLW) can simplify the subsequent actinide partitioning steps. In this context, extraction and stripping behavior of uranium, plutonium, ... -
Powdered Activated Lemon Peels as Adsorbent for Removal of Cutting Oil from Wastewater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Batch adsorption studies were conducted to remove cutting oil from wastewater using activated lemon (species -
Desalinization of Kaolin Soil Using Radial Electromigration and Electroosmosis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The storage and management of road salt piles can cause contamination of drinking water aquifers owing to precipitation runoff that ultimately contaminates the groundwater. Such sites can be remediated using direct current ... -
