Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLab Tests for the Remediation of a PCE Polluted Site by Means of HRC ReactantMaria Chiara Zanetti, Silvia FioreThe injection of reactants is a remediation technology that may be applied both in the vadose zone and in groundwater. In this work a new reagent is examined for the remediation of the vadose zone and groundwater of an industrial site polluted by perchloroethylene (PCE). The tested reactant is the HRC (Hydrogen Release Compound, Regenesis, USA), a reducing agent which … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions To The Study Of Heavy Metals Concentration Variation In Sedimentable Dusts According To The Distance From The Pollution SourceMariana DOBRA, Vasile VIMAN, Gheorghe VÂTCĂThe environment in areas where geological and mining activities, such as the extraction of ores containing heavy metals, take place, is heavily polluted with dusts resulting from these activities, as well as with residual waters from the mines. Depending on the meteorological conditions, as well as on the conditions under which sedimentable dusts or dusts in suspension are emitted into … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,968 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modelling of Pollutants’ Dispersion in Soil I. Case Study of Copper DispersionV. Viman, L. M. Cozmuta, A. M. Cozmuta et al.The study presents a mathematical modelling of copper dispersion in soil. The samples have been collected from the same points of the sampling network, from surface and depth in 2001 and only to surface in 2002 and analyzed using the ICP-AES method. The extrapolation of the experimental results led to the dispersion curves of the copper concentrations both at surface … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,477 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSpectrometric Methods Used to Determine Heavy Metals and Total Cyanides in Accidental Polluted SoilsA. Mihaly-Cozmuta, L. Mihal Cozmuta, V. Viman et al.The study presents the level of soil pollution in the area adjacent to three sedimentation ponds as a result of an environmental accident. Soil samples from various sites have been collected and analyzed to determine the concentration of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) and total cyanides. The analysis methods used were ICP-AES for heavy metals and the colorimetric for total … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,910 accessesView PDF Cite
