Journal ArticleDOI

Regional Variation in Water-Related Impacts of Shale Gas Development and Implications for Emerging International Plays

Meagan S. Mauter, +10 more
- 29 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: The variation in regional water issues associated with shale gas development in the U.S. and the approaches of various states in mitigating these impacts are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytoremediation of 1,4-Dioxane by hybrid poplar trees

Eric W. Aitchison, +3 more
- 01 May 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of vegetative uptake as a site remediation alternative was investigated, and the results suggest that phytoremediation is a viable alternative to remove dioxane from contaminated sites and should be considered for other hydrophilic contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cooperative Pollutant Adsorption and Persulfate-Driven Oxidation on Hierarchically Ordered Porous Carbon.

Chiheng Chu, +8 more
- 06 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: Batch tests showed that near complete removal of various recalcitrant micropollutants can be achieved within a short time even when treating a complex water matrix, as pollutants are concentrated on the surface of HOPC where their oxidation is catalyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utilization of Cathodic Hydrogen as Electron Donor for Chloroform Cometabolism by a Mixed, Methanogenic Culture

Lenly J. Weathers, +2 more
- 27 Feb 1997 - 
TL;DR: The use of selective microbial inhibitors showed that H2-consuming methanogens and not homoacetogens were responsible for CF degradation, and the sustainability of the process was established in a 60-day column study using steel wool.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photosensitized oxidation of emerging organic pollutants by tetrakis C₆₀ aminofullerene-derivatized silica under visible light irradiation.

Jaesang Lee, +7 more
- 17 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: This new photocatalyst for oxidative degradation of 11 emerging organic contaminants, including pharmaceuticals such as acetaminophen, carbamazepine, cimetidine, propranolol, ranitidine, sulfisoxazole, and trimethoprim, and endocrine disruptors, is evaluated.
