Application of Biochar to Stabilize Mercury in Riverbank Sediments and Floodplain Soils from South River, VA under Conditions Relevant to Riverine Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-07)Disposal of mercury (Hg) containing products related to industrial activities has led to large-scale watershed contamination across the globe, posing long-term risks to human health due to its persistent properties. Hg in ... -
Evaluation of an Oxygen Injection Technology for In-Situ Hydrocarbon Bioremediation in a Fractured Bedrock Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-30)Oxygen has been shown to be an effective addition of enhancing the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in porous media; however, the ability to effectively deliver oxygen to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated ... -
Performance of Treatment Media for the Stabilization of Mercury under Variable Geochemical Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2010-10-01)Mercury-contaminated sediments are found in many locations throughout North America and the world. Release of Hg from such sediments and subsequent biological uptake can result in biomagnification in associated ecosystems. ... -
Stimulating In Situ Denitrification in an Aerobic, Highly Conductive Municipal Drinking Water Aquifer
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-14)Best or beneficial management practices (BMPs) are often relied upon as a mitigation strategy for nitrate contamination throughout Canada. At a regional scale, reducing the quantity of nutrients applied to agricultural ...
