Research ArticleOpen accessUptake and Translocation of Iron by Native Tree Species In A Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill LeachatesA. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, R. Cote, A.M. SnowA surface flow wetland was constructed in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The objectives of this study were: (a) to compare the uptake of iron by red maple, white birch and red spruce trees growing under flooded soil conditions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessTreatment of Stormwater Runoff and Landfill Leachates Using a Surface Flow Constructed WetlandA. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, R. CoteA surface flow wetland was constructed in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The aim was to protect a freshwater ecosystem that consists of a 4.6 km long brook and two lakes. The ability of the constructed wetland to retain … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,749 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,580 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessment of Constructed Wetland Biological Integrity Using Aquatic MacroinvertebratesC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland consisting of seven cells was used to treat the leachates from a decommissioned landfill. Wetland monitoring was performed by evaluating the treatment efficiency of the landfill leachate and the wetland biological integrity of the wetland. The water quality samples were analyzed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,417 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,002 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessTreatment of Landfill Leachate using Limestone/Sandstone Filters Under Aerobic Batch ConditionsAbdel E. Ghaly, M.A. Kamal, N.S. Mahmoud, R. CoteThe suitability of a passive technology, consisting of filters composed of a mixture of limestone and sandstone rocks, for the treatment of landfill leachates containing 6.6 mg Lˉ1 iron and 1.8 mg Lˉ1 manganese were investigated. The limestone and the limestone/sandstone filters successfully removed iron from the prepared solutions. The filters removed on average a minimum of 97.60% of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,070 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffect of Temperature on the Performance of Limestone/Sandstone Filters Treating Landfill LeachateAbdel E. Ghaly, M.A. Kamal, R. CoteThe ability of limestone and limestone/sandstone filters to remove dissolved iron and manganese from landfill leachate under field conditions were investigated. The results showed that the precipitation of iron and manganese were affected by temperature and time. Most of iron was removed from solution within the first 10 min at 20°C while the removal of iron from solution took much … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,112 accessesView PDF Cite
