Effect of Leachate Recirculation on Enhancement of Biological Degradation of Solid Waste: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents a case study of leachate recirculation at the Trail Road landfill site, located in Nepean, Ontario, Canada. The leachate collected from the landfill leachate collection system is pumped into infiltration ... -
Slurry-Phase Experiments as Screening Protocol for Bioremediation of Complex Hydrocarbon Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Flare pits have been used by the upstream oil and gas industry for decades to store and/or burn produced fluids at well sites, compressor stations, and batteries. Waste at such sites, or flare pit (FP) waste, usually ... -
Cost-Effective Landfill Closure: Boston's “Menino Project”
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The city of Boston owns a 40-ha (98-acre) site that contains a 34-ha (85-acre) landfill along the banks of the scenic Charles River. Faced with a multimillion dollar state-mandated closure, the city decided that it wanted ... -
Aerial Radiation Survey at a Military Range
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) is currently listed on the Superfund National Priorities List because of past waste handling practices at 13 “study areas.” Concern has been expressed that anthropogenic radioisotopes may have ... -
Kudzu as a Medium for Adsorption of Heavy Metals in Dilute Aqueous Wastestreams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This study assesses the use of kudzu ( -
Chromium(VI) Removal by Modified PVP-Coated Silica Gel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This research involved the synthesizing of a reactive polymer, long alkyl quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP), and coating it onto the surface of silica gel to produce a granular sorbent to remove Cr(VI) from water. ... -

Policy Options for Hazardous-Building-Component Removal before Demolition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A small fraction of the solid waste generated during the demolition of buildings contains chemicals hazardous to human health and the environment. Examples include mercury-bearing fluorescent and high-intensity discharge ... -
Leaching of Metals from Water Treatment Plant Residuals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A mathematical model based upon the diffusion concept was developed to study the leaching of metals from water treatment residuals. Laboratory leaching tests were conducted to study the factors affecting leaching and to ... -
Construction Use of Vitrified Chromium-Contaminated Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)This paper describes the test results of a demonstration study on the use of vitrified soils as highway construction aggregates. It is based on a bench- and pilot-scale feasibility study of the remediation of chromium-contaminated ... -
Removal of Lithium Antimonide from Radioactive Glove Box
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)A sample of lithium antimonide (Li -
Probabilistic Health Risk Assessment of Industrial Workers Exposed to Air Pollution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The aim of this article is to present a probabilistic way of determining the cumulative effect of various elements in the air, such as NOx, SO -
Decreased Release of PAHs from Soils as a Result of Field Bioremediation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)In this study, the relationship between the release characteristics of contaminants from soil and the biodegradability of the contaminants was evaluated. The soils used were from a large-scale field site. A batch rate of ... -
Removal of Lignin by Industrial Solid Wastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Batch experiments have been carried out to study lignin removal from pulp and paper mill effluent by adsorption onto blast furnace flue dust from a steel plant and slag generated in a chrome alloy plant. Removal efficiencies ... -
Hazard Assessment of Indoor Air Quality in Fire Damaged Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The potential presence of indoor air pollutants in fire damaged buildings, stemming primarily from fire soot deposits, raises major concerns in relation to potential long-term health impacts on building occupants. Litigation ... -
Remediation of Petroleum Refinery Waste Pond Contents: A Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The objectives of this field study were to (1) remediate the contents of a pond containing petroleum refinery waste products, and 2) characterize the performance of the remediation effort in terms of changes in chemical ... -
Study of Heavy Metals in Dredged Spoil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)There is a possibility that dredged sediments can be contaminated with heavy metals because of the recent industrial development and rapid population increase along the coastal regions of the world. Hence there is a need ... -

Fate of Treated and Weathered Hydrocarbons in Soil—Long-Term Changes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Information about the loss and mobility of anthropogenic chemicals in soils over long periods of time—years to decades—was evaluated, with the purpose of providing a perspective on the extent to which such chemicals remain ...
