  • 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 ...
  • The effect of different dewatering techniques on resulting effluent particle size. 

    Alimohammadi, M., Tackley, H., Lake, C.B., Spooner, I. Walker, T.R., Jamieson, R.C., Gan, C., and Bossy, K. 2020. The effect of different dewatering techniques on resulting effluent particle size. Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, Vol. 47(10): 1145-1153.
    A paucity of literature has compared geotextile dewatering methods to more conventional dewatering methods (i.e. centrifuge, sedimentation) in the context of how geotextile dewatering performs at reducing particulate matter ...
  • Examining metal migration through geotextiles during dewatering 

    Tackley, H, Alimohammadi, M., and Lake, C.B. 2021. Examining metal migration through geotextiles during dewatering. Geotextiles and Geomembranes: 49(1): 32-40. doi.org/10.1016/j.geotexmem.2020.09.002.
    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 ...
  • 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, ...
  • Historical characterization and spatial distribution of organic contaminated sediment derived from kraft pulp mill effluent. 

    Hoffman, E. Alimohammadi, M., Lyons, J., Davis, E., Walker, T.R., and Lake, C.B. 2019. Historical characterization and spatial distribution of organic contaminated sediment derived from kraft pulp mill effluent. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 191:590. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-019-7763-y.
    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 ...
