Data Visualization Techniques for Contaminated Site Investigation and Remediation
(Corresponding) Toskos T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Site investigations and remedial actions generate large amounts of data. While tabulating the data is necessary for the purpose of satisfying reporting requirements and comparisons to standards, it does not allow us to understand and explore relationships in the data to obtain important information...Read more
In-situ bioremediation of groundwater polluted with Cr(VI) under anaerobic conditions
Galani A., Anastopoulou P., Noutsopoulos C., (Corresponding) Mamais D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
The natural capacity of several microbes to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been considered of much interest in order to remediate soil and groundwater polluted with Cr(VI). The objective of this work is to evaluate the enhancement of the activity of indigenous Cr(VI) reducing bacteria by the addition...Read more

Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Chromium ore processing residue (COPR) still contains considerable chromate which can lead to groundwater contamination at uncontrolled dumpsites. The alkaline pH and presence of portlandite introduced in the high-lime roasting render COPR a potential CO2-trap. To assess whether this feeds back on...Read more
Reductive Debromination of 1,2-dibromoethane and tribromoethylene by a Shrimp-Shell Biochar and Green Rust Composite
(Corresponding) Lindhardt J., Holm P., Lu C., Hansen H.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Simple brominated ethanes and ethylenes like 1,2-dibromoethane (DBA) and tribromoethylene (TrBE) are widespread, toxic contaminants and able to persist in soil and groundwater. Some of these compounds are used as intermediates in the production of resins and as wood preservatives. Previous uses...Read more
Groundwater Flow Dynamics in Shallow Coastal Plain Sands Aquifer, Abesan Area, Eastern Dahomey Basin, Southwestern Nigeria.
Joseph A.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Thirty hand-dug wells were identified and evaluated to study the groundwater flow dynamics and anionic species distribution in the study area. Topography and water table levels method with the aid of Surfer were adopted in the delineation of six recharge and discharge zones correspondingly...Read more
Biodegradation of anthracene by an Antarctic fungal strain a member of genus Alternaria
Gerginova M., Stoyanova K., Peneva N., (Corresponding) Alexieva Z.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
By the aim to characterize the ability of an isolated from Antarctic soils fungal strain termed Alternaria maritima AL10 to degrade anthracene as sole carbon sources at different temperature conditions (23°C and 10°C), research has performed.
The results from GC-MS analysis have shown that the...Read more
Preliminary assessment of groundwater Hydrogeochemistry in Kanye Area, SE Botswana
(Corresponding) Tafesse N., Mapeo R., Laletsang K., Segobaetso1 T.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
A hydrogeochemistry study was conducted in Kanye region, located in south east of Botswana, to determine the main composition controlling mechanisms in the groundwater chemistry of the area. Groundwater samples were collected and analyzed. The samples were analyzed for major cations, anions and...Read more
Groundwater recharge in Molepolole area, SE Botswana
(Corresponding) Tafesse N., Laletsang K., Mapeo R., Appia R.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Groundwater recharge estimation using chloride mass balance (CMB) method was conducted in Molepolole area, SE of Botswana. The study area is semi-arid area with uneven distribution of rainfall throughout the year. The mean annual rainfall of the area is 423.64 mm. Climatically the area is...Read more
Modelling the Evaporation Flux from Shallow Sandy Aquifers
(Corresponding) Al-Suwaiyan M.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
A mathematical model based on Richard’s equation and the soil hydraulic properties was developed in order to understand the influence of the soil depth to the water table on the maximum potential evaporative flux through the unsaturated zone. The model was applied on shallow aquifers using...Read more
PFAS removal performance of novel technologies for treatment of firefighting water and groundwater
(Corresponding) Hjort M., Dalmijn J., Roest K., ter Laak T., Vaiopoulou E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of widely used man-made organic chemical substances. PFAS have been used because of their particular physicochemical properties: most are stable at high temperatures, recalcitrant to chemical oxidation and biological degradation, and act as a...Read more
