Influence of remediation in a mine-impacted river: metal trends over large spatial and temporal scales.
The effectiveness of mine-waste remediation at the Clark Fork River Superfund site in western Montana, USA, was examined by monitoring metal concentrations in resident biota (caddisfly, Hydropsyche spp.) and bed sediment over a 19-year period. Remediation activities began in 1990 and are ongoing. In the upper 45 km, reduced Cu and Cd concentrations at some sites were coincident with remediation...
متن کاملA Review of Centrifugal Testing of Gasoline Contamination and Remediation
Leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) containing gasoline represent a significant public health hazard. Virtually undetectable to the UST owner, gasoline leaks can contaminate groundwater supplies. In order to develop remediation plans one must know the extent of gasoline contamination. Centrifugal simulations showed that in silty and sandy soils gasoline moved due to the physical process of...
متن کاملBio-Remediation of Acid Mine Drainage in the Sarcheshmeh Porphyry Copper Mine by Fungi: Batch and Fixed Bed Process
Acid mine drainage (AMD) containing high concentrations of iron and sulphate, low pH and variableconcentrations of heavy metals leads to many environmental problems. The concentrations of Cu and Mnare high in the AMD of the Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine, Kerman province, south of Iran. In thisstudy, the bio-remediation of Cu and Mn ions from acid mine drainage was investigated using two nati...
متن کاملNatural Bio-Remediation of Arsenic Contamination: A Short Review
The problem of water pollution is now a problem of commons, round the globe [1], but the problem of arsenic contamination in the groundwater is not too old. Arsenic (As) is a metalloid and it belongs to Nitrogen Group [Va] of the periodic table. The atomic number of Arsenic is 33 and atomic mass is 74.922. Arsenic is found as one stable isotope, 75As which is non-radioactive. Arsenic appears in...
متن کاملAssessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Surface Sediment of the Darreh-Morad Beyg River
Background and Purpose: The heavy metal pollution and its fractionations in the surface sediments of Darreh-Morad Beyg River, Hamedan City were monitored for Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in 2014. Materials and Methods: Totally 30 surface sediment samples were taken from 10 stations with three replicates. The samples subjected to bulk digestion and chemical partitioning. The concentr...
