An analytical model was formulated to describe the contaminant species transport and removal by the process, termed as coupled electric-hydraulic gradient assisted by ion exchange medium (CEHIXM). An analytical solution was performed in terms of eigenvalues and compared with the one-dimensional laboratory experimental results. The analytical solutions of the contaminant concentrations agreed to...

28 Fenton’s reagent, a solution of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron catalyst, is used for an 29 in-situ chemical oxidation of organic contaminants. Sulfuric acid is commonly used to 30 create an acidic condition needed for catalytic oxidation. Fenton’s reaction often involves 31 pressure buildup and precipitation of reaction products, which can cause safety hazards 32 and diminish efficiency....

Stickies continue to represent the most challenging contaminant to remove from recycled secondary fiber. Current projections suggest that pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) markets will continue to grow rapidly, increasing the concentration of these contaminants in common office-pack wastepaper. PSA’s reformulated to exhibit higher removal efficiencies within standard secondary fiber processing ...

In this study, it is aimed to treat the wastewater from drilling operations during creation of a natural gas storage area by electrocoagulation (EC) method. Boron and sulfate parameters in were tried be eliminated with help aluminum electrodes. During removal boron pollutants, optimization studies carried out on process time, pH, current criteria. (B) (SO4) concentrations generated measured as ...

Aqueous contaminant removal in the presence of metallic iron is often regarded as a reductive transformation mediated by the Fe surface. However, successful removal of theoretically non-reducible contaminants has been largely reported. This paper presents a rebuttal of the concept of contaminant reductive transformation. It is argued through a careful examination of the evolution of the volume ...

laboratory scale experiments were performed to evaluate the feasibility of biofilters for the removal of h2 s from wastewater treatment plant waste air. the effects of changes in air flow rate and contaminant concentration on biofilter performance treating h 2 s odours were also assessed. compost was used as media in biofilter. the study was carried out in six different phases, by increasing h2...

The author used a recent article on lindane (γ-hexachloro-cyclohexane) reductive dechlorination by Fe/Pd bimetallics to point out that many other of published works in several journals do not conform to the state-of-the-art knowledge on the mechanism of aqueous contaminant removal by metallic iron (e.g. in Fe(0)/H(2)O systems). It is the author's view that the contribution of adsorbed Fe(II) to...
