“…Leaching of heavy metals poses a health hazard and therefore, the use of PMSC in agriculture cannot be recommended. Compost has been used as a substitute for soil cap on landfills [17,18], rehabilitation of mine sites and tailings [19], and as fuel briquettes [20]. An alternative substitute being proposed is to use the PMSC in brick making.…”

“…For the use of biogas in renewable energy production to become more economically attractive and less harmful to the environment, cost-effective remediation techniques for its NMOC constituents, including the siloxane pollutants, must, therefore, be developed. To date, considerable effort has been expended on the remediation of the sulfur- and halogen-containing NMOC, but relatively little research has focused on the removal of siloxanes from biogas, , which is the primary focus of this study.…”

The goal of this study is to assess the technical feasibility of remediating siloxane contaminants in biogas via a photochemical process. Specifically, we studied in the laboratory a process that involves the use of an ultraviolet (UV) photodecomposition reactor (PhoR) to convert siloxane trace impurities, commonly found in biogas produced in water treatment plants and landfills, into silica particulates. These can then be effectively removed from the reactor effluent with the use of a downstream filter. High siloxane conversions were obtained, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the technique. The proposed technology is presently being field-tested in a California landfill.

“…Among these, toluene is used in various fields for many purposes, such as a solvents in paint, lacquers, thinner, glue and nail polish, as well as in leather tanning [6,7]. It is also used as an octane booster in gasoline fuels in internal combustion engines, and in cosmetic and personal care products [8][9][10]. Therefore, toluene has been reported as a potential substance which can contaminate groundwater and soil.…”

Multi-dimensional transport studies are necessary in order to better explain the fate of contaminants in groundwater. In this study, a two-dimensional transport experiment with organic contaminants in saturated sand was conducted to investigate the migration of the organic contaminant plume in multi-dimensional flow conditions. The transport test was conducted using toluene as a model organic contaminant in a saturated sand box under steady flow conditions. The initial plume was generated via injection at a point source. After 24 h, the plume distribution was delineated by interpolating toluene concentrations in the porewater samples. The mass centers of the toluene and the conservative tracer were almost coincident, but the size of the toluene plume was significantly reduced in longitudinal as well as transversal directions. The appropriateness of several types of sorption models were compared to describe the toluene sorption in two-dimensional transport system using numerical modeling. Among the sorption models, the Langmuir model was found to be the most appropriate to describe the sorption of toluene during two-dimensional transport. The results showed that two-dimensional experiments are better than one-dimensional column experiments in identifying the adsorption characteristics that occur during transport in saturated aquifers.
