Sulfonamides (SAs) and their metabolites present severe hazards to human health and the environment, mainly because of antibiotic resistance. Knowledge of their bioavailability, including their sorption to soils and their impact on the soil-groundwater pathway, is crucial to their risk assessment. Laboratory batch and column leaching tests are important tools for determining the release potenti...

With the improvement of the urbanization level, the mixed city water has surged and the traditional denitrogenating cost in the course of wastewater reuse has been unbearable. This experiment used the technology of the constructed rapid infiltration (CRI) and applied the soil column simulation method in the laboratory. The results show that nitrogen removal rates of two soil columns are 73.73% ...

influence of soil organic matter (som) on the adsorption, desorption and transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) has already been given full investigation in soils. in this paper, confocal laser scanning microscope (clsm) was used to elucidate aqueous leaching of pahs in different types of soil with soil columns, which enhanced understanding on transport of pahs appreciably. four t...

Surfactants are well known to increase solubility/mobility of hydrocarbons and can be used to remediate contaminated water and soil. We wanted to explore if Ivey sol R © 106 used at less than the critical micelle concentration (CMC) could effectively mobilize PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) from contaminated soil. The first step was to establish a measurement technique. Hence, a column l...

Within the scope of the interdisciplinary NASRI research project (Natural and Artificial Systems for Recharge and Infiltration) dealing with river bank filtration processes at Berlin water works, a semi-technical column experiment has been ongoing since January 2003 to simulate river bank filtration. Here a 30 m long group of 6 soil columns is operated by surface water sampled from lake Tegel (...

The main aim of this study was to determine the sorption and biodegradation parameters of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) as input data required for their fate and transport modelling in a Quaternary sandy aquifer. Sorption was determined based on batch and column experiments, while biodegradation was investigated using the compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA). The aquife...

An antibody column in tandem with a fluorescent dye entrapped liposome column was developed for highly sensitive detection of an endocrine disruptor, bisphenol A (BPA). Anti-BPA antibody was immobilized in a protein G column with orientation control. A derivative of BPA was conjugated to phospholipase A2 (PLA2). BPA sample solutions mixed with the BPA-PLA2 conjugates were injected on to the ant...
