  • Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings 

    Choi. H., Lake, C.B. and Hills, C.D. 2020. Examining particle breakage for a manufactured aggregate from cement kiln dust. ASCE Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste, 24(1): 04019029. DOI: 10.1061/%28ASCE%29HZ.2153-5515.0000468.
    Aggregates manufactured from fine-grained thermal waste residues using accelerated carbonation technology (ACT) represent a potential sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. However, for these manufactured products ...
  • Characterizaing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes 

    8. Alimohammadi, M., Tackley, H., Holmes, B., Davidson, K., Lake, C.B., Spooner, I., Jamieson, R.C., Walker, T.R. 2020. Characterizing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes. Environmental Geotechnics. https://doi.org/10.1680/jenge.19.00214.
    A field sampling program was undertaken to assess the variability of physical characteristics of contaminated sediments in a large (160 ha) effluent stabilization lagoon. The objective of this paper is to use this “field ...
  • Examining the Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool as a Viable Means for Delineating a Contaminated Organic Sediment 

    Davidson, K.B., Lake, C.B., Sweet, B. and Spooner, I.S. 2021. Examining the ultraviolet optical screening tool as a viable means for delineating a contaminated organic sediment, Science of the Total Environment, Vol. 799: 149408.
    Rapid and accurate delineation of contaminated sediments in marine environments is critical for the effective assessment of site risks and the development of appropriate remedial action plans. In this study, a new application ...
  • Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study. 

    9. Fenton, G.A., Lake, C.B., Liza, R. K. 2021. Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study. Submitted to Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 58: 155-164. dx.doi.org/10.1139/cgj-2020-0067.
    This paper presents statistical analyses of hydraulic conductivity data collected from an existing cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) system. The goal is to characterize the spatial variability of hydraulic ...
  • Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids 

    Shu, W., Price, G, Jamieson, R, Lake, C.B. 2021. Biodegradation kinetics of individual and mixture non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in an agricultural soil receiving alkaline treated biosolids. Science of the Total Environment. Vol 755(1): 142520. doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142520
    Land application of biosolids is one potential source of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into agricultural soils. Degradation is an important natural attenuation pathway that affects the fate and transport ...
  • Fate and transport of particle matter during geotube dewatering of a dioxin and furan (PCDD/F) contaminated sediment. 

    Alimohammadi, M. and Lake, C.B. 2022. Fate and transport of particle matter during geotube dewatering of a dioxin and furan (PCDD/F) contaminated sediment. Geotextiles and Geomembranes, Vol. 50(2):203-215. doi.org/10.1016/j.geotexmem.2021.09.006
    Geotextile tube dewatering is a pre-treatment method utilized in the remediation of high-water content materials (i.e. sediments and slurries). However, given the association some contaminants (e.g. dioxins and furans, ...
  • Evaluating the movement of dissolved porewater species through a marine sediment 51 years after establishment of a pulp and paper effluent stabilization basin 

    Lake, C.B., Song, X., Spooner, I.S., Jamieson, R.C. Walker, T.R., and Tackley, H. 2022. Evaluating the movement of dissolved porewater species through a marine sediment 51 years after establishment of a pulp and paper effluent stabilization basin. Accepted Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
    Over 50 years ago, a marine estuary was converted to a wastewater stabilization basin for treatment of primarily pulp and paper effluent. As a result, the basin was immediately converted to a “freshwater” environment and ...
