TRICHLOROETHYLENE (TCE) IS A WIDESPREAD POLLUTANT AND IS REPORTED TO BE THE MOST FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED CONTAMINANT AT HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES. ALL PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS AT IN SITU BIOREMEDIATION HAVE USED A PROCESS WHERE METHANTROPHIC BACTERIA WERE STIMULATED BY THE SUBSURFACE DELIVERY OF AIR AND METHANE RESULTING IN A "FORTUITOUS" COMETABOLISM OF TCE. THIS PROCESS AT ONE TIME APPEARED PROMISING FOR TH ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF AMULTI-STAGED DIFFUSED AERATION TREATMENTSYSTEM FOR GASOLINE REMOVAL FROM CONTAMINATED HOUSEHOLD GROUND WATER SUPPLIES WILL BE STUDIED. EXPERIMENTS IN THE LABORATORY AND FIELD WILL IDENTIFY THE CONTROLLING GASOLINE COMPONENT COMPOUNDS FOR THE SYSTEM. THESE ADDITIVES ARE LIKELY TO INCLUDE METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE) AND OTHER HIGHLY SOLUBLE AND POORLY ADSORBED COMPOUNDS. E ...

A HIGH EFFICIENCY ACTIVATED CARBON GRANULE WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR DRINKING WATER TREATMENT. THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS HIGH EFFICIENCY GRANULE IS A SUPERACTIVATED CARBON WITH A BET SURFACE AREA IN EXCESS OF 3000 M(2)/GM USING THE STANDARD PROCEDURE BY BRUNAUER, EMMETT, AND TELLER, AND AN IODINE NUMBER GREATER THAN 3000 MG/G. TWO GRANULATIN TECHNOLOGIES WILL BE EXPLORED: SPHERICAL AGGLOMERATION AND EXT ...

THE DISPOSAL OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) IS A COSTLY PROBLEM FOR ALL MUNICIPALITIES. THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY HAS RECOMMENDED THAT SOURCE REDUCTION, RECYCLING, VOLUME REDUCTION, AND LANDFILLING BE APPLIED, IN THAT ORDER, IN THE TREATMENT OF MSW. RECYCLING HAS RECENTLY BECOME A MAJOR COMPONENT OF MUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS. HIGH COSTS OF LABOR INTENSIVE CURBSIDE RECYCLIN ...
