Abstract:

Soils perform many functions essential to human and ecosystem health, and contamination by organic compounds diminishes the ability of the soil to perform those functions. One method for remediating contaminated soils is ex situ thermal desorption (TD). This process involves excavating contaminated soil material and heating it to encourage contaminant vaporization. Gaseous contaminants are combusted in a thermal oxidizer, while the treated soil is available for reuse. While TD is a fast, reliable way to remediate contaminated soil, the ability of the soil to function after treatment is unk

Abstract:

Along with the essential importance of the metallurgical sector, one must recognise that it is also one of the largest sources of environmental pollution. In particular, the problem of electric arc furnace (EAF) dusts is of a growing concern due to the increase in popularity of EAF steelmaking. This dust is classified as a hazardous product due to the elevated content of toxic metals (e.g., Cr).<br>Studies on the properties of EAF dusts are sparse. Experiments were performed in order to determine the chemical and physical characteristics of the dust. It was determined that EAF dust is constitu

Non-thermal plasma generated in a dielectric barrier packed-bed reactor has been used for the remediation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds. Chlorinated VOCs are important air pollutant gases which affect both the environment and human health.

Abstract:

Smouldering and thermal remediation processes can achieve rapid removal of organic contaminants from soils but these processes expose soils to high temperatures for extended periods of time. Wild fire research shows changes in soil properties, when exposed to temperatures up to 850°C. Based on temperatures achieved during smouldering, this work aims to investigate how high temperature thermal and smouldering treatments affect soils. Laboratory experiments on simple soils prepared from silica sand and silica sandkaolin show that thermal treatments affect soil particle size distribution, mass, p

There are over 602,000 bridges in the United States, of which 12.5% are classified as functionally obsolete and 11.2% are structurally deficient. The functionally obsolete bridges will require expansion or replacement to increase the service capacity of the bridge. The structurally deficient bridges will either need remediation of the load carrying elements which are damaged or deteriorated or will need to be replaced completely. Replacement of the bridges means new construction; new construction means better design and quality assurance to meet the 100+ year service life requirement in place

Abstract:

Mineral oils and coal tars are complex nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), which can serve as long-term sources of ground water contamination. Very limited data are available on mineral oil and coal tar entrapment in and removal from porous media. Thus, the objectives of this research were to evaluate the behavior of these NAPLs in porous media, and investigate the mechanisms governing NAPL entrapment in and recovery from porous media. Quantification of properties of three commercial mineral oils and six MGP coal tars reveals that mineral oils are slightly viscous LNAPLs (density: ~0.88 g/cm3;

Abstract:

Thermal desorption (TD), a remediation method used to remove hydrocarbons from contaminated soils, may cause changes in soil properties that threaten soil function and plant productivity. The goal of this research is to better understand the effect that TD treatment has on soils intended for agricultural use. A series of soil phosphorus (P) sorption and desorption experiments were conducted on soils before and after TD treatment to determine P availability for plant uptake and risk for run-off. TD-treated soils retained more P, likely due to mineral transformations of Fe- and Al-oxides. In add

Abstract:

The removal of artificially and naturally placed oils found in the ground is of paramount concern for environmental reasons and for the extraction of crude oil for energy. While many companies are involved in this soil remediation process, the physics of the underlying problem are not very well understood. We present a mathematical model and analysis of oil extraction in a porous soil based around the injection of water. We first consider a saturation analysis based on conservation of mass between oil and water in a one-dimensional setting and we find that based on certain parameter values,

Abstract:

Mercury is a toxic metal that has been released to the environment through numerous industrial activities. It can exist in various solid, aqueous, and gaseous forms. Volatile Hg(0) is frequently present at the source of a spill where it behaves as a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contaminant that can change oxidation state and speciation via chemical or biological reactions. Mercury speciation is a key factor determining the mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of Hg in the environment.
