Effect of ethanol on BTEX biodegradation in aerobic aquifer systems
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-04)Ethanol can affect the biodegradation of gasoline hydrocarbons in groundwater. High concentrations of ethanol can be toxic to subsurface microorganisms that are otherwise capable of degrading hydrocarbons, such as benzene, ... -
Metolachlor and TCE Plume Characteristics in a Dolostone Aquifer Using a Transect
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Much is known about natural attenuation of contaminants in granular aquifers because many contaminant plumes in these aquifers have been intensively monitored with detailed sampling along cross sections positioned across ... -
Numerical Simulation of Hydrocarbon Fuel Dissolution and Biodegradation in Groundwater
(University of Waterloo, 2000)The behaviour of hydrocarbon fuels in contaminated groundwater systems is studied using a multicomponent reactive transport model. The simulated processes include residual NAPL dissolution, aerobic and anaerobic ...
