Physicochemical aspects of the application of surfactants and biosurfactants in soil remediation
PublicationZaprezentowano właściwości zwilżające, emulgujące oraz solubilizujące surfaktantów niejonowych Rokanolu L10, Tritonu X-100 oraz biosurfaktantu JBR 425. Jako modelowe zanieczyszczenia wybrano tetrachloroetylen (PCE) oraz o-dichlorobenzen (o-DCB). Stabilność emulsji rosła wraz ze stężeniem surfaktantu. Rozpuszczalnośc PCE i o-DCB była największa w roztworach micelarnych biosurfaktantu JBR.

Chapter 18. Emulsifying properties of nonionic surfactants in the context of soil remediation
PublicationPowstające podczas remediacji gruntów emulsje są niekorzystne, gdyż mogą prowadzić do zatykania porów i unieruchomienia strumienia cieczy przemywającej. Czyni to proces przemywania nieefektywnym. Zbadano stabilność emulsji trzech olejów mineralnych i jednego syntetycznego (PAO 6). W badaniach wykorzystano aparat Turbiscan TLab Expert. Stabilność emulsji określono jako zależność delty transmisji od czasu. Spośród przebadanych emulsji...

Adsorption properties of Triton X-100 and rhamnolipid biosurfactant in the contex of soil remediation
PublicationZbadano adsorpcję surfaktantu syntetycznego Triton X-100 i biosurfaktantu z grupy ramnolipidów oraz ich koadsorpcję na granicy faz powietrze/woda oraz olej/woda. Jako fazę organiczną wybrano dodekan oraz syntetyczny olej bazowy na bazie polialfaolefin (PAO). Te same surfaktanty użyto do zbadania zwilżalności powierzchni stałych pokrytych cieńką warstwą substancji hydrofobowej. Na podstawie badań fizykochemicznych nie zauważono...

Wetting properties of biosurfactant (rhamnolipid) with synthetic surfactants mixtures in the context of soil remediation
PublicationWetting properties of synthetic surfactant Rokanol NL6, biosurfactant JBR 425 and their mixture have been investigated.The results show that synthetic surfactant addition worsens physicochemical properties of pure biosurfactant but exhibits much higher oil removal efficiency than biosurfactant does.

Lead In drinking water: Adsorption method and role of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for its remediation: A review
PublicationDue to various characteristics properties lead(II) metal is utilized in many applications like lead ion batteries, water pipes, ammunition and paints. For this reason, concentration of lead(II) ions in water is increasing days by days which is alarming for water pollution. Water pollution is a major problem worldwide which affects biosphere badly, and causes continuous reduction of accessible sources of fresh water and ground water, available...

LDFEM analysis of pore water pressure development in cohesive soil due to FDP auger drilling
PublicationThis paper presents the preliminary modelling of FDP auger drilling in soft soil with emphasis on excess pore water pressure (EPWP) development using CEL formulation and Abaqus software suit. The EPWP generation in single points is investigated and the results of a numerical analysis are compared with the field measurements. It is found that numerical model qualitatively reflects the field measurements. However,...

Pore Water Pressure Development in Soft Soil due to Installation and Loading of Controlled Modulus Columns
PublicationExcess pore water pressure (EPWP) development and decay due to the installation and static loading tests of controlled modulus columns (CMC) in soft soil was measured with piezometers equipped with low air entry (LAE) filters and a piezocone (CPTU) equipped with a high air entry (HAE) filter. The HAE filter allows for detailed detection of EPWP in short time intervals during construction of CMC. The influence zone due to the installation...

Determination of Heavy Metals Concentration in Water and Soil at Various Locations in Lahore and their Harmful Impacts on Human and Plants life
PublicationHeavy metals poisoning of soil and water has resulted from industrial expansion in Lahore, Pakistan, creating a significant environmental hazard. As a result, monitoring the contamination of soil and water around industrial sites is critical. The fact that higher concentrations of heavy metals have a negative influence on both plants and human life and this cannot be ignored. Higher heavy metal concentrations have a direct impact...

Numerical modeling of PFAS movement through the vadose zone: Influence of plant water uptake and soil organic carbon distribution
PublicationIn this study, we investigated the effects of soil organic carbon (SOC) distribution and water uptake by plant roots on PFAS movement in the vadose zone with a deep groundwater table under temperate, humid climate conditions. Two series of numerical simulations were performed with the HYDRUS computer code, representing the leaching of historical PFOS contamination and the infiltration of water contaminated with PFOA, respectively. We...

Isolation and Characterization of Phenol-Degrading Psychrotolerant Yeasts
PublicationIn this study, the potential of selected psychrotolerant yeast strains for phenol biodegradation was studied. From 39 strains isolated from soil and water samples from Rucianka peat bog, three psychrotolerant yeast strains: A011, B021 and L012 showed the ability to phenol degradation. The result shows that all three yeast strains could degrade phenol at 500 mg l-1 and 750 mg l-1 concentration, whereas strains A011 and L012 could...
