Natural Attenuation of Fuels and
Chlorinated Solvents in the Subsurface
by Todd H. Weidemeier, Hanadi S. Rifai, John T. Wilson and Charles Newell
Natural Attenuation (also known
as intrinsic remediation) is defined as the use of natural processes to
degrade environmental contaminants to safe levels. This book will be the
first reference available on the application of natural attenuation,
including numerous examples and case studies from a wide range of sites
where this approach has been proven to be effective.
Remediation
Engineering: Design Concepts
by Suthan S. Suthersan
In many cases, the
application of in situ technologies evolved as a necessity from a cost
perspective. However, the basic understanding of the mechanisms and theory
behind these technologies was treated as a "black box." Although we have
seen some tremendous successes in the application of remediation
technologies over the past several years, we have also seen many cases in
which a technology has been incorrectly or inappropriately applied. In most
cases, this misapplication has been the result of a poor understanding of
the basic concepts and mechanisms behind the technologies. Without proper
understanding, the potential for misapplication of technologies remains a
serious economic and technical threat.
Practical Design Calculations for
Groundwater and Soil Remediation
by Jeff Kuo
Jeff Kuo's hands-on experience as a consultant and teacher
of soil/groundwater remediation informs this collection of the most
practical and relevant working information. Written in a user-friendly,
"cookbook-style" format, readers can promptly access the necessary
information. More than 200 equations, coupled with tables and figures, allow
a clear understanding of purposes and procedures.
Natural and Enhanced Remediation
Systems
by Suthan S. Suthersan
Building on the success of
bioremediation and phytoremediation technologies, this book explores remediation techniques that use the beneficial
effects provided by Mother Nature with state-of-the-art information on natural and enhanced
remediation techniques such as monitored natural attenuation, in situ
reactive zones, bio-augmentation, in situ chemical oxidation, phytoremediation, constructed wetlands, and engineered phyto-covers.
The book
contrasts the new paradigms in remediation with the conventional remedies of
the past two decades. It also addresses theoretical and design aspects and
includes case studies that illustrate implementation and performance
details. The appendixes contain substantial information and data usually
found scattered in many different books and research papers, making the book a comprehensive resource on cutting-edge
remediation technologies.
DNAPL Site Evaluation
by Robert M. Cohen and James W. Mercer
DNAPL Site Evaluation covers
long-term contamination of ground water by DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase
liquids) chemicals. The book will maximize the
cost-effectiveness of site investigation/remediation by providing the best
information available to describe and evaluate methods to be used for
determining the presence, fate, and transport of subsurface DNAPL
contamination.
Dense Chlorinated Solvents and
Other DNAPLs in Groundwater
by James F. Pankow
Groundwater Chemicals Desk
Reference, 3rd Edition
by John H. Montgomery
The latest edition of the
bestselling Groundwater Chemicals Desk Reference has been thoroughly updated
and expanded. In addition to information concerning the environmental fate
and transport in various media, organic priority pollutants and chemicals
commonly found in the workplace and the environment, it includes toxicity
information for mammals and aquatic species in a clear, consistent format.
MTBE: Effects on Soil and
Groundwater Remediation
by James J. Jacobs, Jacques Guertin and Christy Herron
Written by an expert team of
scientists, engineers, and toxicologists, this book provides complete in-depth coverage of the assessment
and potential remediation strategies of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE).
In addition to a history and overview of fuel oxygenates and MTBE, the book
contains the latest information on physical and chemical
properties, toxicity and health effects, taste and odor thresholds, transport
and fate in the environment, detection and treatment in soil and
groundwater, environmental policy.
Remedial Technologies for Leaking
Underground Storage Tanks
by James J. Jacobs, Jacques Guertin and Christy Herron
This new work describes the state-of-the-art of remedial technologies for
petroleum contaminated soils and impacted ground water. It presents a thorough
description and evaluation of each available technology for remediating soil
and groundwater containing petroleum products released by underground
storage tank leaks and spills. State remedial action practices are
discussed.
Groundwater Treatment Technology
by Evan K. Nyer
Wide-ranging, authoritative,
and completely updated, this Second Edition includes expert accounts of
specific groundwater treatment technologies. Air stripping, carbon
absorption, pure compound removal, UV oxidation, and emerging biological
technologies are explained and directly related to groundwater design
situations.
