The CEC of zeolite and red mud obtained using solutions of 0.1 M BaCl2 and 0.1 M BaCl2/NH4Cl were significantly lower than values obtained using 1 M KCl and 1 M NH4Cl. The higher CEC obtained with monovalent cations indicated that larger divalent cations could not enter the mineralogical framework of zeolite and red mud, and, consequently, a number of exchange sites were only accessible to the smaller monovalent cations. These findings suggest that 1 M KCl and 1 M NH4NO3 should be used as the extracting solutions to obtain the best estimation of CEC and ECEC of red mud and zeolite. The ability of red mud, zeolite, and calcium phosphate (Ca-P), mixed at rates of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 20% (w/w), to ...","PeriodicalId":433778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Contamination","volume":"1067 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115037053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Failure of the methods to predict the right efficiency has resulted in financial losses and penalties. This article describes an addition to the traditional characterization methods for soils contaminated by heavy metals, improving the quality of the basic decisions to be made. The method is based on magnetic separation using a Frantz Isodynamic Separator (FIS) for this study. The FIS isolates soil particles containing heavy metals so that these particles, which are relevant for soil cleaning, can be studied in more detail. Four contaminated soils were tested, for example, soils that were a problem for the soil-cleaning industry. The experiments indicate that each soil has its own magnetic properties that should be regarded as a fingerprint. Density measurements of two soils show that densities approach the quartz density separated at moderate and high ma...","PeriodicalId":433778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Contamination","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133550329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It mainly addresses the variations in properties that influence nitrate accumulation and movement resulting from the agricultural activities in the root zone. The drive for this research comes from the perception and evidence of widespread contamination arising from production agriculture. The information is useful in the spatial management of soil for prevention of non-point source groundwater contamination from production practices. The review includes most of the static soil properties, one water transport property, some soil fertility variables, and crop yield. It examines various investigations and parameters identifying the magnitude of variability, and spatial correlation values for a given property are provided in a tabular form. Various sources of spatial variability, as well as methods of evaluating soil variability, are also discussed.

Results confirmed that the use of SCAs can enhance oil removal from porous media but showed that at the colder temperatures common in Alaska the efficiency of shoreline cleaners is significantly reduced. Using salt water also tends to decrease the efficiency of flushing. The data also show that the majority of the removal attributable to the shoreline cleaning agent occurs within the first one to three pore volume flushes. After that time, the effectiveness of the flushing procedure drops off to that of pure water for all three SCAs tested.","PeriodicalId":433778,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Contamination","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122101952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of interest was an examination of surfactant performance characteristics under the acidic conditions that may be required for metal removal. Although pH is recognized as a critical factor in metal sorption to soils, it did not significantly impact the solubilization ability of any of the surfactants for naphthalene. The sorption of nonionic surfactants to the soil was not affected by pH, while sorption of anionic surfactants increased as the pH decreased. Although nonionic surfactants showed better solubility enhancement for naphthalene than anionic surfactants, the latter may enhance lead desorption from the soil, presumably due to interactions between the anionic head groups of the surfactant and the Pb2+ ion.

Results were comparable, with gasoline identified as the main subsurface contaminant In both surveys. Close spatial correlation was also achieved among screening instruments and laboratory analyses. Contaminant concentrations corresponded very well with unsealed blueprints showing the locations of the above‐ground storage tanks and associated piping, subsequent test pit soil samples, and excavation results.
