Electrokinetic barrier and remediation with solar energy
(2012-11-10)Electrokinetics is a promising technique to prevent / minimize the migration of pollutants to the soil and/or groundwater and to remediate contaminated slurries. Electrokinetics requires a low-level direct current (dc) ... -
Electrokinetic-assisted membrane photobioreactor (EK-MPBR) for municipal wastewater treatment
(2023)Membrane technology and phycoremediation, which utilizes algae for nutrient removal, are two major emerging technologies for wastewater treatment. Membrane photobioreactors (MPBRs) integrate these technologies and provide ... -
Groundwater contamination prevention using an electrokinetic barrier-cobalt trapping
(2015-06-15)The quality of groundwater in many regions around the world has been compromised due to pollution from anthropogenic activities such as deposition of solid wastes containing heavy metals in landfills, industrial spills and ... -
Integrated solar electrokinetic remediation of soil contaminated with copper
(2012-11-10)Electrokinetic remediation is an emerging in-situ technology for cleaning contaminated soil. The contaminants are mobilized by passing a low-level direct current between a row of positively charged electrodes (anode) and ... -
Modeling groundwater flow and transport of contaminants at a former manufactured gas plant in the midwestern USA
(2013-02-01)The processes used to produce manufactured gas for heating, cooking and lighting purposes in North America from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s have generated by- products such as coal tar containing Monocyclic ... -
Modelling groundwater flow and contaminant transport at a gold mine site in Northern Ontario
(2015-02-02)The practices of mining and ore processing are used in many countries around the world to extract and concentrate the valuable natural resources found within the rock bodies which make up the earth’s crust. However, the ... -
Non-destructive testing to monitor the strength increase of electrokinetically treated soil
(2018)Electrokinetics in geotechnical engineering is used to increase the shear strength of soft soils and the load carrying capacity of piles embedded in these soils. This is achieved by decreasing the water content of the soil ... -
Utilization of coal biomass fly ash in the control and treatment of acid mine drainage
(2009)This study investigated the feasibility of using coal/biomass fly ash (CBFA) blended with various percentages of mine tailings, bentonite, and glacial till soil to control and treat acid mine drainage (AMD). Applications ...
