Chemical grouting may be defined as the injection of chemical mixtures, known as grouts, into the pore space of the soil. It is extensively used for ground stabilization in the construction industry. The mechanism by which injected grout permeates a soil mass involves a complex interaction of both chemical and physical factors that are not well understood. The objective of this work is to develop a two-dimensional numerical model for the computation of a two-phase immiscible flow in a porous medium. The phases of flow are grout and water. It is assumed that the phase of grout is non-wetting type. An important aspect of the chemical grout-hardening of the grout mix-is considered in the model. The coefficient of hardening is a parameter that represents the gelation behaviour of the chemical grout mix. The numerical model applied is based on a finite difference scheme known as vector volumes. The model is capable of estimating the order of magnitude and distribution of pore pressures that are developed during the injection process and the effects of non-homogeneities such as variations in permeability. The results are checked against laboratory tests. In practice, the numerical model may be used to avoid the expensive and time-consuming laboratory tests.

A double-porosity model for a fractured aquifer with non-Darcian flow in fractures
Altinors, Altay; Onder, Halil (Informa UK Limited, 2008-08-01)
Non-Darcian flow in a finite fractured confined aquifer is Studied. A stream bounds the aquifer at one side and all impervious Stratum at the other. The aquifer consists of fractures capable of transmitting water rapidly, and Porous blocks which mainly store water. Unsteady flow in the aquifer due to a Sudden rise in the stream level is analysed by the double-porosity conceptual model. Governing equations for the flow in fractures and blocks are developed using the continuity equation. The fluid velocity in...
A comparison of physical properties of synthetic sludge with activated sludge
Sanin, Faika Dilek (Wiley, 1999-03-01)
Conducting physical and chemical tests with activated sludge is difficult because of its constantly changing properties. To overcome this difficulty a synthetic sludge that physically and chemically resembles activated sludge was created. In this study, the physical properties of synthetic sludge were examined and compared to those of activated sludge, including particle size, filterability by specific resistance to filtration and capillary suction time, conditioning with two polyelectrolytes, flee strength...
Higher alkyl sulfatase activity required by microbial inhabitants to remove anionic surfactants in the contaminated surface waters
İçgen, Bülent; Goksu, Lale; Ulusoy, Huseyin; Yılmaz, Fadime (IWA Publishing, 2017-11-01)
Biodegradation of anionic surfactants, like sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are challenged by some bacteria through the function of the enzyme alkyl sulfatases. Therefore, identifying and characterizing bacteria capable of degrading SDS with high alkyl sulfatase enzyme activity are pivotal. In this study, bacteria isolated from surfactant contaminated river water were screened for their potential to degrade SDS. Primary screening carried out by the conventional enrichment culture technique and assessment of SD...
Qualitative evaluations about the disinfection capabilities of a water distribution network : a model study
Nadiroğlu, Coşkun; Köken, Mete; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
“Chlorine” is one of the major disinfectants extensively used in distribution systems that neutralizes the disease-causing organisms. This model study evaluates the disinfection capabilities of a specific water distribution network N8.3 of Ankara water distribution system under various operating conditions. N8.3 supplies water, roughly to 40,000 people. The network is served by a pump station and pumping schedule is critical concerning the occurrence of minimum chlorine concentrations. Continuous “blind” pu...
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF POLYVINYL-CHLORIDE) EMULSION POLYMERIZATION - EFFECT OF INITIATOR AND EMULSIFIER CONCENTRATIONS ON POLYMERIZATION KINETICS AND PRODUCT PARTICLE-SIZE
Karakaş, Gürkan (Wiley, 1989-01-01)
Effects of concentration changes in initiator species Na2SO3, (NH4)2S2O8 and CuSO4, and emulsifier, ammonium stearate, on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) emulsion polymerization kinetics and on product particle size were experimentally investigated. It was observed that to obtain industrially significant rates and overall conversions, not only an optimum concentration ratio of Na2SO3/(NH4)2S2O8/CuSO 4 must be used, but also the concentrations of these species must be above certain limits. Increasing the concentr...
