Pulp and paper mills generate a significant amount of organic waste (primary and secondary sludge) that requires treatment and disposal. Currently, pulp and paper sludge (PPS) is either dried for incineration or used for ...

Many jurisdictions throughout Canada and the United States utilize Spring Load Restriction (SLRs) on low volume roads to minimize the damage during spring thaw. The main objective of this research is to develop a SLR method ...

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 ...

Submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) technology is becoming an attractive alternative for industrial wastewater treatment as it improves the biological process while allowing for the recovery of energy through ...

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 ...

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 ...

The hydraulic performance of traditional labyrinth weirs has been extensively studied in the literature. The research outcomes indicated that labyrinth weirs have many hydraulic advantages to pass more flow with a constant ...

With the cost of sludge management on the rise, the volume reduction of municipal wastewater sludge is becoming an increasingly important issue for wastewater treatment plants. Current research is focused on pretreatment ...

In the thermomechanical pulping (TMP) process wood chips are pretreated with steam prior to refining, and the resultant effluent (TMP pressate) is currently treated in the wastewater treatment facility of the pulp mill. ...

Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have been recognized as an effective method for enhanced wastewater treatment and re-use. However, the loss of the membrane performances due to membrane fouling remains a major ...
