Removal of Trace Heavy Metals by Adsorption onto Fly Ash
Geochemical Factors Affecting Trace Element Mobility
Selected geochemical processes to be considered when modeling the movement of trace elements in soils are presented. The topics covered include: solid phase-solubility equilibria, ion...
Mapping Ground-Water Sodium Adsorption Ratios in Northern Louisiana
High sodium concentration is suspected as the cause of several crop failures in the northern part of Louisiana. This study, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, was undertaken...
Microfiltration/Adsorption Technology for Treatment of Industrial Wastewaters: Pilot- and Full-Scale Studies
In this work the development and testing of wastewater treatment system using coagulation, microfiltration and carbon adsorption is described. Studies were conducted first on a bench or...
Soil Water Content and Air Stripping
The efficiency of air stripping for removal of volatile hazardous contaminants from soils is influenced by the water content of the soil being decontaminated. Control of soil water may...
Getting the VOCs Out of Well Water
Two technologies are successfully removing volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from groundwater supplies. Not surprisingly, since the application is new, many of the designs were not optimized...
Adsorption, Desorption and Transport of Pesticides in Groundwater: A Critical Review
Adsorption and desorption are major mechanisms affecting the transport and fate of pesticides in groundwater. Equilibrium, chemical nonequilibrium and physical nonequilibrium adsorption...

Effects of Organic Compounds on the Adsorption and Desorption of Metals in Soils
This study evaluated the adsorption and release rates of toxic metals in a soil system also impacted with organic compounds. The soil type studied is common to hazardous waste sites throughout...
Enhanced Mobility of Polynuclear Aromatic Compounds in Soil Systems
The objective of this study was to determine adsorption isotherms for polynuclear aromatic (PNA) compounds in methanol and a mixture of 50 percent methanol 50 percent water. The adsorption...
The Adsorption Characteristics of NI (II) Onto Bubble Surface
The removal of Ni(II) by foam fractionation is brought about by the electrostatic mechanism. From removal and zeta potential measurements, it clearly demonstrates that Ni**2** plus and...
Predicting Carbon Adsorption of Organics from Humid Air
Increased levels of humidity resulted in reduced adsorption capacity for trichloroethylene (TCE) at low influent concentrations on a microporous activated carbon. Water vapor also reduced...
Adsorption and Release of Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soil
This study investigated the adsorption and release rates of toxic metals in soil type associated with hazardous waste sites common to the Northeastern United States. Five heavy metals...
Physical and Chemical Behavior of Chrysotile Asbestos Particles in Natural Waters
The paper reports on research to develop a better understanding of the chemical behavior and the influence of surface chemistry on the physical behavior of chrysotile asbestos and other...
Performance Prediction for Removal of Odorous Organics From Drinking Water by Adsorption
The authors address three questions: What do packed bed filters remove from suspension in water treatment plants? How do they accomplish this removal? How can this knowledge be used in...
