Download or read book Biodegradation of Deicing Agents in Various Soil Types written by AnnMarie Halterman-O'Malley and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airports have found that spent deicing fluids eventually reach the airfield's stormwater system and soil surrounding the airfield. Due to toxic effects of spent deicing fluids, containing and collecting the fluid for treatment can be a very costly activity for airports. One alternative to dispose of the used deicing fluid is to institute a land treatment system if it can be proven that the deicing fluid is readily biodegradable in a soil system. The primary concern of this research effort was to monitor the behavior of a simulated aircraft deicing fluid in various soil systems. An automated respirometer monitored the behavior of the microbial activity in soil that was contaminated with aircraft deicing fluid (ADF). Reapplication of the contaminant to the soil, one time soil loading variations and a lime additive analyzed in an attempt to maximize the bioctegradation of the contaminant.

Download or read book Renewable Fuels written by Rajni Kant and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable fuels, in the present times, have become important to curb emission of greenhouse gases, which are causing damage to the environment and leading to climatic changes. Ideally, their utilization can be a zero carbon operation. Planting suitable trees on all waste lands and agro forestry on a large scale can fulfil the needs of timber, fuel, fruits, etc. All kinds of lignocellulosic biomass can be converted by several methods to useful liquid fuels like alcohols, biodiesel, methane, renewable diesel and renewable gasoline. Hydrogen can be used as a renewable fuel because of its desirable characteristics and properties for its use as a green fuel.
