Air Emissions from Exposed, Contami- Nated Sediments and Dredged Mate- Rial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contaminated sediments in confined disposal facilities (CDF) are exposed to air leading to the emission of organic compounds, among many others. Laboratory flux experiments were conducted to measure the flux of tracer PAHs and the various physical factors that influence the emission. Continuing this effort, this document describes the effect of sediment reworking on PAH flux. A pilot-scale simulation of a CDF was performed at Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, Mississippi. The experimental design and preliminary results of the pilot-scale field simulation are also presented in this work.

This report describes a series of investigations conducted examining a number of specific factors that control air emissions associated with the dredging of Indiana Harbor and Canal (IHC) and associated IHC Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) operations. Three primary objectives were addressed: (1) measurement of Henry’s Law constants and sediment-water desorption constants for various chemicals i...
متن کاملMouse leukemia virus growth in mouse cells contaminated with Mycoplasma.
The growth of a mouse leukemia virus in an established mouse cell line was examined after the line became contami nated with an unidentified Mycoplasma species. The con taminated cultures grew well in small plastic cultures dishes, but they could not be propagated in larger roller bottles unless the growth medium was changed frequently. Cells from A/ycop/flÃ-/MÃ-J-contaminated and Mycoplasma-fr...
متن کاملFungal Leaching of Heavy Metals from Sediments Dredged from the Deûle Canal, France
Filamentous fungi were used to leach heavy metals from dredged sediments in semi-pilot scale air-lift bioreactors. Prior to the bioleaching experiments, a physico-chemical characterization of the sediments comprising a sequential extraction study was conducted. The sediments turned out to highly contaminated with heavy metals. Most of the studied metals were found to be strongly linked to the m...
متن کاملTransport of Dredged Sediments after Disposal Operation in Lake Erie
A dredged material disposal operation was monitored on a location in Lake Erie 8 km offshore Ashtabula, Ohio, June to November, 1975. Some 200 sediment cores were collected in the periods before and after dredging and analyzed for the grain-size distribution of the sediments. Two current meters and a wave sensor moored nearby monitored the movement of the water masses. The sediments were dredge...
متن کاملLithotrophic Bacterial Leaching of Heavy Metals from Sediments Dredged from the Deûle Canal, France
Lithotrophic bacterial leaching of heavy metals from dredged sediments was studied in semi-pilot scale air-lift bioreactors. Prior to the bioleaching experiments, a physico-chemical characterization of the sediments comprising a sequential extraction study was conducted. The sediments turned out to be highly loaded with heavy metals, and with the exception of managanese, mainly associated to th...
