To the exclusion of other major atmospheric pollutants, sulfur dioxide is mainly responsible for attack upon dolomite. This article characterizes Laurel Dolomite on the basis of composition, texture, and porosity; describes the mechanism of the SO2 reaction with dolomite; and develops two equations for the prediction of the rate of decay of dolomite. Over a period of 120 yr nearly 3.57 mm surface reduction at protected areas and 0.915 mm surface reduction at unprotected surfaces of a building in Louisville was calculated. However, these values could not be verified because measurement of these quantities in the field cannot be made.

Lined waste containment systems: A method for design and performance evaluation Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-04-01) The objective in designing lining systems for the containment of the leachate generated within a landfill is the prevention of contamination of groundwater and surface waters. The technology involving the design of these systems has progressed to a point that the integrity of the containment can be relied on over the long term. Double-lined systems provide the additional benefit of being able to quantify the performance of the lining system through the detection of leakage through the upper liner. The diffi...
The effect of aquifer heterogeneity on natural attenuation rate of BTEX Ucankus, Tuba; Ünlü, Kahraman (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-04-01) Monitored natural attenuation can be a viable option for remediation of groundwater contamination by BTEX compounds. Under the field conditions, the rate of contaminant mass attenuation through natural processes, such as biodegradation, to a large extent affected by the groundwater flow regime, which is primarily controlled by the aquifer heterogeneity. Numerical simulation techniques were used to describe quantitatively the relationship between biodegradation rate of BTEX and aquifer heterogeneity. Differe...
Biosorption of Strontium from Aqueous Solutions by Micrococcus luteus Sr02 İçgen, Bülent (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) Although strontium (Sr2+) is found in soils, sediments and surface waters, there is limited evidence about its biosorption. In this study, a surface water strain being highly tolerant to Sr2+ was isolated and identified as Micrococcus luteus Sr02 by using 16S rRNA sequencing. Biosorption behavior and mechanisms of Sr2+ by M. luteus Sr02 were investigated through batch experiments, zeta potential measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that M...
Reduction of volatile halocarbons in anoxic seawater, results from a study in the Black Sea Tanhua, T; Fogelqvist, E; Basturk, O (Elsevier BV, 1996-09-01) The Black Sea is characterised by an oxic surface water layer and anoxic deep water rich in both hydrogen sulphide and methane, and in between a suboxic zone with very low concentrations of both oxygen and hydrogen sulphide. This makes the Black Sea a useful site for the study of oxidation-reduction reactions in seawater. In this study, the distributions of tetrachloromethane, trichloromethane, 1,1,1,-trichloroethane, dibromomethane, dibromochloromethane and bromodichloromethane across the oxic-anoxic inter...
Contamination of the cement raw material in a quarry site by seawater intrusion, Darica-Turkey Çamur, Mehmet Zeki (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-02-01) The open pit mining nearby shoreline is planned to be extended into below sea level in order to use additional reserves of the cement raw material (marl). The raw material is currently contaminated by seawater intrusion below a depth of 20 m up to the distance of 90 m from shoreline. Seawater intrusion related contamination of the material used for the cement production was investigated by means of diffusion process for the future two below sea level mining scenarios covering 43 years of period. According t...
