Evaluation of persulfate for the treatment of manufactured gas plant residuals
(University of Waterloo, 2013-02-01)The presence of coal tars in the subsurface associated with former manufactured gas plants (MGPs) offers a remediation challenge due to their complex chemical composition, dissolution behaviour and recalcitrant characteristics. ... -
In situ Chemical Oxidation using Unactivated Sodium Persulphate at a Former Gasoline Station
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-09)The contamination of aquifer systems by petroleum hydrocarbons is a global problem. Underground storage tanks used for storing these hydrocarbons often leak, resulting in subsurface contamination. The hazards associated ... -
In-Situ Chemical Oxidation of Oil Sands Process Affected Groundwater
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-01)Development of oil sands mining in Athabasca basin, NE Alberta has resulted in generation of more than 1 × 109 m3 of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) mixed with fine tailings and currently stored in about 182 km2 ... -
Iron Nanoparticles for In Situ Chemical Oxidation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)Recently, metal nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers in several fields of study due to their high surface area and other unique properties. Using metal nanoparticles as a component of an in situ ... -
Remediation of Weathered Light Nonaqueous Phase Liquids by Persulfate: In-Situ Performance Assessment and Numerical Modeling
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)Light nonaqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) subsurface contamination is complex and poses considerable risks to human health and the environment. The PHC contaminated sites are often difficult to ...
