Asbestos in water? How to address ‘non-standard’ samples of industrial and other effluents
Biohazards and other interferences complicate the employment of off-the-shelf asbestos in water methods by traditional TEM techniques. Laboratories must implement creative strategies to prepare and analyze these samples to produce meaningful analytical data. Laboratory and personnel safety have to be considered before sample handling. The interferences also greatly diminished any reasonable ...

Treatment of oil contaminated soil from a wyoming refinery
An oily soil sample was shipped from the refinery site to the test Laboratories on June 17, 1995. The sample was stored at 4 °C until testing began. The sample was in the form of a dense pasty mud, black in color, and consisted of oily residues mixed with what appeared to be bentonite clay. Characterization showed the ...

Productivity at the Commercial (or pay per test) Laboratory - White Paper
Commercial environmental laboratories practice “applied analytical chemistry” by analyzing samples using a list of potential contaminants to determine how much, if any, of the pollutants are there. The data collected may be used by the laboratory’s client to, among other reasons, satisfy a regulatory permit, or for routine monitoring as required by a regulatory agency, such as ...

CL-Out In Situ Bioremediation of Perchlorate
CL-Out is a consortium of facultative aerobic organisms that are well know for their ability to utilize nitrates. CL-Out is generally used for the aerobic cometabolism of PCE and other chlorinated solvents. As the half-reaction for perchlorate is close to that of nitrate, CL-Out cometabolism of perchlorate was successfully tested in the laboratory. In addition to laboratory tests, CL-Out was ...

ISOTEC Technology Effectively Treats 1,4-dioxane
ISOTEC, with over 13 years of ISCO experience, has successfully demonstrated treatment of 1,4-dioxane in laboratory experiments. An initial laboratory test produced a 99%+ reduction in a field sample spiked 1,4-dioxane (see table 1). The result suggested that ISOTEC’s patented modified Fenton’s technology can achieve similar reductions under field conditions. An international ...
