Using a geotextile with flocculated filter backwash water and its impact on aluminium concentrations
(Elsevier, 2018)
The use of geotextiles (i.e. geotextile tubes) in wastewater treatment applications is ever increasing. This paper examines the potential of using a geotextile to improve upon the treatment of aluminium present in a filter ...
Fate and transport of particle matter during geotube dewatering of a dioxin and furan (PCDD/F) contaminated sediment.
(Elsevier, 2022)
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, ...
Quantifying hydraulic conductivity spatial variability for a cement-based solidification/stabilization (S/S) remediation project: a case study.
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021)
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
(Elsevier, 2021)
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 ...
Examining the Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool as a Viable Means for Delineating a Contaminated Organic Sediment
(Elsevier, 2021)
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 ...
Examining metal migration through geotextiles during dewatering
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper presents a study conducted to assess the influence that a filter cake deposited on the surface of the geotextile has on the mobility of three metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) during filtration of a contaminated sediment. Two ...
Lateral sand filters are effective for removal of antibiotic resistance genes from domestic wastewater
(Elsevier, 2019)
The ability of lateral flow sand filters, used as on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), to remove
antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and other relevant genetic markers
(HF183, ...
Historical characterization and spatial distribution of organic contaminated sediment derived from kraft pulp mill effluent.
(Springer, 2019)
Organic sediment contaminants
[polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDD/Fs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs)] were assessed using secondary monitoring
data from a former tidal ...
Examining freeze/thaw cycling and its impact on the hydrualic conductivity of cement-treated silty sand
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2015)
Cement-based solidification/stabilization (s/s) is a remediation technology that has been widely used for treatment of a range of contaminants. Currently there is limited published data on changes in hydraulic performance ...
Particle Size Effects on Breakage of ACT Aggregates Under Physical and Environmental Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020)
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 ...
