Download or read book Environmental Remediation and Restoration of Contaminated Nuclear and Norm Sites written by L van Velzen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear sites become contaminated with radionuclides due to accidents and activities carried out without due consideration for the environment. Naturally-occurring radioactive materials (NORM) released by industrial processes such as coal power production and fertilizer manufacture may also require clean-up. Environmental remediation and restoration aim to reduce exposure to radiation from contaminated soil or groundwater. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this area. Part 1 provides an introduction to the different types of contaminated site and their characteristics. Part 2 addresses environmental restoration frameworks and processes. Part 3 then reviews different remediation techniques and methods of waste disposal. Explores types and characteristics of contaminated nuclear and NORM sites Provides an in depth guide to environmental restoration frameworks and processes including stakeholder involvement, risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis in the remediation and restoration of contaminated nuclear and NORM sites Offers coverage of remediation techniques and waste disposal from electrokinetic remediation to in situ and ex situ bioremediation of radionuclides contaminated soils

Download or read book Symmetry in Classical and Fuzzy Algebraic Hypercompositional Structures written by Irina Cristea and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of 12 innovative research papers in the field of hypercompositional algebra, 7 of them being more theoretically oriented, with the other 5 presenting strong applicative aspects in engineering, control theory, artificial intelligence, and graph theory. Hypercompositional algebra is now a well-established branch of abstract algebra dealing with structures endowed with multi-valued operations, also called hyperoperations, having a set as the result of the interrelation between two elements of the support set. The theoretical papers in this book are principally related to three main topics: (semi)hypergroups, hyperfields, and BCK-algebra. Heidari and Cristea present a natural generalization of breakable semigroups, defining the breakable semihypergroups where every non-empty subset is a subsemihypergroup. Using the fundamental relation β on a hypergroup, some new properties of the β-classes are obtained by De Salvo et al., who introduced and investigated the notion of height of a β-class. Based on the properties of a cyclic hypergroup of particular matrices, Krehlik and Vyroubalova describe the symmetry of lower and upper approximations in certain rough sets connected with this hypergroup. These results suggest an application to the study of detection sensors. In the framework of hyperrings and hyperfields theory, a new line of research has been developed regarding hyperhomographies on Krasner hyperfields, with interesting applications in cryptography (Vahedi et al.) and new fuzzy weak hyperideals were defined in Hv-rings by using the concept of fuzzy multiset (Al Tahan et al.), for which some algebraic properties were obtained. Two articles are dedicated to the study of BCK-algebras. Bordbar et al. present the properties of the relative annihilator in lower BCK-semilattices, whereas several types of intuitionistic fuzzy soft ideals in hyper BCK-algebras were defined and studied by Xin et al. Increasing numbers of researchers are interested in the applicative aspects of algebraic hypercompositional structures. For example, new properties related with symmetric relations are emphasized by Chvalina and Smetana for the structures and hyperstructures of artificial neurons. Novak et al. present a mathematical model based on elements of algebraic hyperstructure theory, used in the context of underwater wireless sensor networks. A construction of granular structures using m-polar fuzzy hypergraphs and level hypergraphs is illustrated in Luqman et al. using examples from a real-life problem. In the last paper in this book, Akram et al. discuss some properties related to edge regularity for q-rung picture fuzzy graphs.

Download or read book Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management written by Katalin Gruiz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four volumes of the book series "Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management" deal with environmental management, assessment & monitoring tools, environmental toxicology and risk reduction technologies. This last volume focuses on engineering solutions usually needed for industrial contaminated sites, where nature’s self-remediation is inefficient or too slow. The success of remediation depends on the selection of an increasing number of conventional and innovative methods. This volume classifies the remedial technologies and describes the reactor approach to understand and manage in situ technologies similarly to reactor-based technologies. Technology types include physicochemical, biological or ecological solutions, where near-natural, sustainable remediation has priority. A special chapter is devoted to natural attenuation, where natural changes can help achieve clean-up objectives. Natural attenuation and biological and ecological remediation establish a serial range of technologies from monitoring only to fully controlled interventions, using ‘ just’ the natural ecosystem or sophisticated artificial living systems. Passive artificial ecosystems and biodegradation-based remediation – in addition to natural attenuation – demonstrate the use of these ‘green’ technologies and how engineering intervention should be kept at a minimum to limit damage to the environment and create a harmonious ecosystem. Remediation of sites contaminated with organic substances is analyzed in detail including biological and physicochemical methods. Comprehensive management of pollution by inorganic contaminants from the mining industry, leaching and bioleaching and acid mine drainage is studied in general and specifically in the case of an abandoned mine in Hungary where the innovative technology of combined chemical and phytostabilization has been applied. The series of technologies is completed by electrochemical remediation and nanotechnologies. Monitoring, verification and sustainability analysis of remediation provide a comprehensive overview of the management aspect of environmental risk reduction by remediation. This book series focuses on the state of knowledge about the environment and its conscious and structured application in environmental engineering, management and decision making.
