Control of Odor and VOC Emissions at Wastewater Treatment Plants -Boston Harbor Case Study-
Siting of the new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) in Boston was based on an assumption of mitigation of total reduced sulfur (TRS)...
Effects of Molecular Oxygen and pH on the Adsorption of Aniline to Activated Carbon
This paper examines the influence of molecular oxygen and pH on the adsorption of aniline to F-300 Calgon Carbon. Molecular oxygen increased the adsorptive capacity of GAC for anilines...
The Evaluation of Empty Bed Contact Time on the Biodegradation of Pentachlorophenol using an Anaerobic GAC Fluidized Bed
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of decreasing the empty-bed contact time (EBCT) on pentachlorophenol and its intermediates utilizing an anaerobic granular activated...
Activated Carbon as a Catalyst for Polymerization of Phenolic Compounds
Previous studies by the principal investigator showed that the increase in the adsorptive capacity of activated carbon for phenolic compounds can be attributed to polymerization (oxidative...
Analysis of Sand Movement on Noto Coast by Geochemical Method
The analysis of sand samples by X - ray fluorescent spectroscopy (abbreviated by XRF) gives the ratio of the geochemical elements to construct the sand samples. This shows the geochemical...
Accelerator for Shotcrete Based Amorphous Calcium Aluminate
The authors developed an accelerator based on amorphous cacium aluminate named NATMIC for shotcrete. In Japan, accelerator based amorphous calcium aluminate are widely used in shotcrete...
Hydration Properties of Shotcrete with an Accelerator Based on Calcium Aluminate
A new powder-type accelerator based on calcium aluminate has been used for shotcrete in underground construction. This accelerator can be applied to all types of shotcreting. The shotcrete...
Carbon-14: Some Evidence of Migration and Experiments on Immobilisation
Carbon-14 that is produced in nuclear reactors by reactions on C, N and O is one of the most biologically dangerous nuclides that are subject to global dispersion (H-3, 85-Kr, 129-I)....
Diffusion of Carbon Dioxide Through Layers of the Unsaturated Zone at Yucca Mountain
The estimation of diffusive transport of gases through tuffs is important in order to asses the Yucca Mountain as an environmentally safe and acceptable repository for spent fuel and high-level...
Organic Carbon Input in Shallow Groundwater at ?SP?, Southeastern Sweden
The variation in carbon and oxygen isotopes in calcite fissure fillings and dissolved carbonate from shallow groundwaters has been examined at Aspo, southeastern Sweden. The shallow water...
Radionuclide Solubility and Speciation Studies for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, U.S.A., is being investigated for its suitability as a potential site for a geologic nuclear waste repository. As part of the site characterization studies, actinide...
Late Quaternary History and Uranium Isotopic Compositions of Ground Water Discharge Deposits, Crater Flat, Nevada
Three carbonate-rich spring deposits are present near the southern end of Crater Flat, NV, approximately 18 km southwest of the potential high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain....
Corrosion Life-Time Assessment of Carbon Steel and Stainless Alloys for Geological Disposal Facility
The disposal facility for radioactive wastes, requires long-term integrity. Metal is considering to use as the engineered barrier which constructs the outer walls in such a facility, in...
Lead Isotopic Composition of Paleozoic and Late Proterozoic Marine Carbonate Rocks in the Vicinity of Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Paleozoic and Late Proterozoic marine carbonate rocks (limestones, dolomites, and their metamorphic equivalents) cropping out in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain contain lead with an isotopic...
Properties of Bottom Ash-Based Composite
High-calcium bottom ash, a by-product of the electric power industry, was evaluated for feasibility of use as a fine aggregate in structural grade concrete. Both fresh and hardened properties...
Using Wood as Structural Material: Some Environmental Considerations
Against a background of growing public awareness of the potential dangers of global warming resulting from increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is suggested...
Flexural and Shear Studies of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Beams
This paper presents the results of laboratory test on beams reinforced with three dimensional continuous carbon fiber grid. The grid is prefabricated by three-dimensional weaving and epoxy...
Intersection Air Quality Analysis
Methods of carbon monoxide concentration estimation at or near intersections have recently undergone scrutiny with resulting debate on the proper and accurate ways to make these estimates...
Modeling Guideline for Air Quality Analysis of Intersections
Model evaluations have been performed testing eight different models for the ability to estimate carbon monoxide near intersections. These evaluation results along with the need for updated...
