Detection and monitoring of DNAPLs in the subsurface under transient conditions using cross well radar
(2008-04)
Contamination of soils and groundwater, accidental spills, poor storage facilities, and inadequate disposal practices cause serious detriment of the environment and can pose a serious threat to human health. Common ...
Effect of variable environmental conditions on fate and transport of explosive-related chemicals near soilatmospheric surface
(2009)
Landmines and other buried explosive devices (BEDs) pose an immense threat to military personnel, civilian population, and the environment in many places of the world, requiring large efforts on detection. Chemical detection ...
Vapor phase transport of explosive related compounds through unsaturated sandy soils
(2008-08)
Chemical detection of buried explosives devices through chemical sensing is influenced by factors affecting the transport of chemical components associated with the devices. Explosive-related chemicals (ERCs), such as ...
Efficiency evaluation of an advanced oxidation processes (AOP) package plant for MTBE removal from natural waters
(2007-05)
To provide safe drinking water to small communities in Puerto Rico, this project evaluates the performance and reliability of a small-scale, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) package plant for water treatment. Specifically, ...
Effects of flow reversal on two-dimensional transport of explosive chemicals in soils
(2008-05)
The effects of water infiltration and evaporation on the fate and transport of explosiverelated chemicals (ERCs) in soils were studied. The experiments were conducted in two 100 cm uniform cylindrical columns packed with ...
Assessment of potential odor problems on McCook Reservoir, Chicago, IL
(2005-12)
The City of Chicago and neighboring communities are served by combined sewer systems, which carry both stormwater and raw sewage. The combined sewer overflows (CSOs) could exceed the capacity of the wastewater treatment ...
