Solid waste characterisation and the assessment of the effect of dumping site leachate on groundwater quality: a case study
In this study, the characterisation of the solid waste and the effect of the leachate from the major dumping site in Perungudi, Chennai city, on groundwater is investigated. Various physical and chemical parameters were estimated: this includes pH, total hardness, electrical conductivity, and total dissolved solids, major cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+, major anions such as NO32−, Cl−, ...

A novel approach to remediating contaminated groundwater by reusing industrial co-products
This paper presents a novel approach to remediating contaminated groundwater by utilising industrial co-products. The materials discussed include paper clay and steel slag, and the primary water contamination considered is heavy metal contamination. Paper clay was determined to have the potential for adsorbing heavy metals, and in compacted form could achieve permeability values within the ...

Spatial distribution of heavy metals in groundwaters and health risks associated in the Ntem watershed, Yaoundé, Cameroon
The present study was aimed at bridging the gaps in the knowledge concerning heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe) concentrations in the groundwaters of the Ntem watershed in Yaoundé. Representative groundwater samples (25 numbers) were collected from five hand-dug wells, and their metal concentrations were assessed as per standard procedures, and deterministic interpolation ...

Spatial distribution of groundwater pollution in the Porsuk River Basin (PRB), Turkey
The groundwater in the alluvium aquifer of the Eskisehir Plain (EP) is polluted by wastewaters transported through Porsuk River, agricultural-industrial activities, river-groundwater interactions and unsanitary landfill. Porsuk River flows throughout the alluvium aquifer in the EP. In this study, the effects of anthropogenic activities on groundwater quality in the EP were investigated. Since the ...

On-site infiltration of road runoff using pervious pavements with subjacent infiltration trenches as source control strategy
The focus in this work was on subsoil infiltration of stormwater from parking lots. With regard to operation, reduced infiltration performance due to clogging and pollutants in seepage, which may contribute to contaminate groundwater, are of interest. The experimental investigation covered a pervious pavement with a subjacent infiltration trench draining an impervious area of 2 ha. In order to ...

25 Years of Success – Outokumpu Stainless DC Plasma Smelting Facility
Design is not just what is looks and feels like. Design is how it works. Between 1982 and 1987, British Steel (Outokumpu today) made extensive investigations into the treatment of steel dust. Their research was far and wide and covered off many various methods of recycling, including alternative to plasma technologies. But, in 1985, they engaged Tetronics International to carry out a series of ...

The impact of an open waste disposal site on soil and groundwater pollution
A study has been carried out of a waste disposal site, located in the valley of a small creek, 3 km south of Canakkale city centre. The surface area of the site was around 101000 square metres, and the total amount of waste deposited at the site since 1990 was approximately 1001000 tons. The major risks of the dump are its closeness to the university campus area to the south, the airport to the ...
