Book Manipulation of Groundwater Colloids for Environmental Restoration

Download or read book Manipulation of Groundwater Colloids for Environmental Restoration written by John McCarthy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-01-04 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable resource discusses several strategies of manipulating colloids for environmental restoration, identifies advantages and disadvantages of each strategy, and considers obstacles limiting the application of each strategy. Approaches evaluated include the following: Chemical modification of subsurface systems to mobilize or deposit colloids in situ Altering the mobility of microorganisms to improve delivery of microbes for bioremediation Manipulating colloids or biocolloids (bacteria) to change aquifer permeability to either enhance bioremediation or create in situ barriers Introducing modified colloids, surfactants, and emulsions to control colloid mobility or to increase recovery of sorbed contaminants by pump and treat methods Manipulation of Groundwater Colloids for Environmental Restoration also contains short, focused research reports on specific studies relevant to the various approaches under consideration. Subjects covered range from mobility of organic macromolecules by controlled field injection experiments to new techniques that investigate surface chemistry and aggregation of inorganic colloids. Other topics discussed include the depositional behavior and transport of biocolloids in porous media, surfactants as modifiers of surface binding sites on colloids, and genetic engineering of microorganisms to serve as contaminant-scavenging biocolloids. Manipulation of Groundwater Colloids for Environmental Restoration is an excellent resource for research scientists in hydrology, chemistry, and microbiology; environmental consultants; regulators; environmental engineers; bioremediation microbiologists; and engineers.

Book Mobilization and Characterization of Colloids Generated from Cement Leachates Moving Through a SRS Sandy Sediment

Download or read book Mobilization and Characterization of Colloids Generated from Cement Leachates Moving Through a SRS Sandy Sediment written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturally occurring mobile colloids are ubiquitous and are involved in many important processes in the subsurface zone. For example, colloid generation and subsequent mobilization represent a possible mechanism for the transport of contaminants including radionuclides in the subsurface environments. For colloid-facilitated transport to be significant, three criteria must be met: (1) colloids must be generated; (2) contaminants must associate with the colloids preferentially to the immobile solid phase (aquifer); and (3) colloids must be transported through the groundwater or in subsurface environments - once these colloids start moving they become 'mobile colloids'. Although some experimental investigations of particle release in natural porous media have been conducted, the detailed mechanisms of release and re-deposition of colloidal particles within natural porous media are poorly understood. Even though this vector of transport is known, the extent of its importance is not known yet. Colloid-facilitated transport of trace radionuclides has been observed in the field, thus demonstrating a possible radiological risk associated with the colloids. The objective of this study was to determine if cementitious leachate would promote the in situ mobilization of natural colloidal particles from a SRS sandy sediment. The intent was to determine whether cementitious surface or subsurface structure would create plumes that could produce conditions conducive to sediment dispersion and mobile colloid generation. Column studies were conducted and the cation chemistries of influents and effluents were analyzed by ICP-OES, while the mobilized colloids were characterized using XRD, SEM, EDX, PSD and Zeta potential. The mobilization mechanisms of colloids in a SRS sandy sediment by cement leachates were studied.

Book Quantification and Characterization of Mobile Colloids

Download or read book Quantification and Characterization of Mobile Colloids written by Jing Yan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mobile colloids, 1-1000 nm particles, have attracted much research attention because they have small size and large specific surface area therefore the potential to facilitate the transport of contaminants in the subsurface environment. Despite colloids' potential importance, the role of mobile colloids in carbon cycling under varying redox conditions is largely unknown. This dissertation, combining laboratory investigations and field measurements, focused on (1) identification and understanding of the key processes and pathways leading to colloid and colloidal organic carbon (COC) release under dynamic redox conditions and (2) quantification of the actual colloidal load and assessment of colloids' role in organic carbon retention and mobilization in representative environmental systems. ☐ In Chapter 2, I investigated the complex interplay of soil colloid release, organic matter (OM) content, and redox conditions via batch experiments. I found that reducing conditions promoted colloid release, but colloid release largely depended on the dynamic interactions between OM and colloids. Under aerobic conditions, the addition of dissolved OM (DOM) increased colloid release, while under anaerobic conditions, the release of indigenous DOM (DOM in) by iron reduction inhibited colloid release. In Chapter 3, I developed a simple and efficient methodology to quantify mobile colloids in
