Iodide Retention by Modified Kaolinite in the Context of Safe Disposal of High Level Nuclear Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Bentonite clay is identified as potential buffer in deep geological repositories (DGR) that store high level radioactive wastes (HLW) as the expansive clay satisfies the expected mechanical and physicochemical functions ... -
Simulation-Optimization Model for In Situ Bioremediation of Groundwater Contamination Using Mesh-Free PCM and PSO
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Groundwater pollution is a major problem in many parts of the world. Many of the contaminated sites, especially in industrial areas, are affected by organic biodegradable contaminants such as trichloro-ethylene (TCE), ... -
Analytical Model for Stress-Strain Response of Plastic Waste Mixed Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Recycling plastic water bottles has become one of the major challenges world wide. The present study provides an approach for the use of plastic waste as reinforcement material in soil, which can be used for ground ... -
Estimation of Primary and Mechanical Compression in MSW Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The density of municipal solid waste (MSW) plays a significant role in the computation of landfill settlement. A methodology is developed to compute the primary and mechanical compression considering the landfill density ... -
Special Section on Mass Transport and Environmental Risk Assessment

Landfill Gas to Energy Applications in India: Prefeasibility Analysis of Mumbai Landfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Landfill gas (LFG) is a useful by-product of landfills, and it has potential to be harnessed as an energy resource instead of being allowed to escape into the atmosphere. Landfills in India are often unengineered systems ... -
Dealing with Algal Toxins and Dissolved Organics in Drinking Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Several types of cyanotoxins found in surface water bodies are recognized as having human health effects, whereas taste and odor affect the palatability of water and give rise to public complaints. Conventional water ... -
Analysis of 1D Contaminant Migration through Saturated Soil Media Underlying Aquifer Using FDM
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Finite-difference method (FDM) has been adapted herein to solve a one-dimensional (1D) contaminant transport model to predict contaminant migration through soil in waste landfill underlying an aquifer. Providing an effective ... -
Adsorptive Chromium Removal by Some Clayey Soil for Abatement of Tannery Waste Pollution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Leachate migration from uncontrolled municipal and industrial solid waste disposal sites leads to significant subsoil and groundwater pollution. In order to combat this geo-environmental problem, landfill construction must ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Activated Sludge–Biofilm Reactor: Influence of Composite Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Experimental studies were conducted on a 5-L laboratory-scale activated sludge–biofilm reactor in two phases: phase I with 30% filling (Bioflow 9) and Phase II with 60% filling [Biofilm 9 (30%), Flocor (15%), and BioBall ... -
Electrokinetic Migration of Nickel [Ni(II)] in Contaminated Sludge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Nickel sludge was synthetically prepared by adding an optimum dose of lime into nickel rinse wastewater. Migration of -
Heavy Metals in Water, Sediments, and Aquatic Macrophytes: River Hindon, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Ni) were investigated in water, sediments, and aquatic macrophytes ( -
Concentration Profiles and Spatial Moments for Reactive Transport through Porous Media
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)We use an advection-dispersion-reaction equation, which accounts for both physical and chemical nonequilibrium, to study the effect of heterogeneity of the porous media on a spatial concentration profile. Distance-dependent ... -
Preparation, Performance, and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Nanoarchitectures CuO/CeO2 Composite Catalysts for the Catalytic Decomposition of Ammonia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This work discusses the oxidation of ammonia ( -
Integrated Approach in the Quantitative and Qualitative Control of Water Distribution Systems through Control Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)An integrated approach in the control of flow and quality in water distribution systems has been proposed. Simultaneous proportional integrated derivative (SIM-PID) and normalized proportional integrated derivative (NOM-PID) ... -
Transport and Reactivity of Lactate-Modified Nanoscale Iron Particles in PCP-Contaminated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Remediation of sites contaminated by toxic chlorinated organic compounds by using nanoscale iron particles (NIP) has received great attention owing to their high reactivity resulting from small size and large reactive ... -
Occupational Risk Evaluation of Using Bottom Ash and Fly Ash as a Construction Material
