Various land application technologies as means for waste treatment and disposal are introduced. This chapter discusses the engineering topics of: surface spreading, overland flow, infiltration, percolation, slow rate irrigation, crop irrigation, vegetative cover, soil adsorption, soil ion exchange, mineralization, bacteriological activity, waste treatment, water removal, nitrogen removal, phosphorus...
There are two major components of a subsurface wastewater treatment system: (a) a pretreatment tank for gravity separation and accumulation of the settleable solids from the wastewater, and (b) subsurface distribution and final treatment of the supernatant liquid from this pretreatment tank. This chapter covers the topics of subsurface waste treatment theory, anaerobic septic tank, aerobic tank, subsurface...
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are of environmental concern due to their toxic nature. Ionizing radiation has been suggested as a means to remediate PCB-contaminated samples in complex matrices. A set of experiments was performed to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the aromatic degradation products of 2-monochlorobiphenyl (2-MCB) in an aqueous system exposed to ionizing radiation. The...
Management of contaminated dredged material is a significant challenge in the Port of New York and New Jersey as a result of more stringent regional ocean placement regulations with escalating costs for upland placement. One component of an overall management plan can be the application of a decontamination technology followed by creation of a product suitable for beneficial use. This concept is the...
