Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites

Book Description
Winner of the 2013 Claire P. Holdredge Awardee for Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites. This award, first established in 1962 by the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists, is named in honor of Claire P. Holdredge, a founding member and the first President of the Association. The award is presented for a publication by an AEG Member(s) within the 5 previous years that is adjudged to be an outstanding contribution to the Engineering Geology profession. Remediation of Former Manufactured Gas Plants and Other Coal-Tar Sites is geared toward environmental professionals who want to design and implement gasworks remediation strategies that offer the greatest chance to successfully protect the public. Exploring the bases for selecting remedial alternatives to adequately address today’s environmental wounds, this compendium of essential knowledge combines historic and modern scientific data and technology with common sense and empirical lore passed down from past generations of gas professionals, a group that is now all but extinct. Most of the general population does not have a sufficient understanding of remediation needs. Unfortunately, there seems to be a similar lack of knowledge among some environmental professionals whose job it is to protect the public from the health threats associated with coal tar. Pitfalls in remediation are common and represent a significant risk to the public, especially when processes are based on inaccurate assumptions. This book sifts through the existing scholarship from around the developed world to present the necessary evaluation factors used in effective remediation. Almost encyclopedic in scope, it offers 265 separate tables with checklists, hard data facts, and associations to help readers define site-specific gas plant conditions. It also includes a plethora of photographs and historic drawings, as well as an extensive glossary that is indispensible for understanding potential and actual gas plant contamination. Useful for engineers, scientists, regulators, public officials, historians, and journalists among others, this book is intended for those who conduct remediation, as well as those involved in review and oversight. Its goal is to bring users closer to safely reclaiming land and reviving old coal gasworks sites in ways that ultimately will be sustainable for the public interest.
Assessment of Bioavailability of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) in Coal-tar Contaminated Soils

Book Description
The bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coal-tar contaminated soils plays an important role in determining the risk of these compounds to the environment and humans. Developing an understanding of organic compounds bioavailability will assist in improving risk assessment and developing bioremediation strategies. In the first part of study, the degradation of 16 EPA priority PAHs in soil slurry reactors were investigated along with the change in microbial population. Using DAPI-stained organisms, maximum microbial populations were found to correspond with the depletion of 2- and 3-ring PAHs. Degradation of PAHs was sequential with the 2- and 3-ring PAHs degrading first, followed by the 4- and 5-ring PAHs. There was negligible degradation of 6-ring PAHs. The Modified Gompertz equation, an empirical model, was used to estimate the lag phase, degradation rate, and maximum degraded fraction of individual PAHs. The Monod equation was also applied but did not model the experimental data well especially the change in microorganism population. In the second part of study, several chemical methods were performed to assess the bioavailability of PAHs in three coal-tar contaminated soils from former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) sites. The methods tested were hydroxypropyl-[beta]-cyclodextrin (HPCD), persulfate oxidation, acetone-water mixture extraction, butanol extraction, and solid phase extraction using XAD-2. Residual PAHs in each soil following extraction were compared with the PAHs remaining after biodegradation in soil slurry reactors. Of the five methods tested, the XAD-2 desorption method was determined to the best method for predicting the bioavailability in coal-tar contaminated soils.

Bioremediation of Chlorinated and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Compounds
Author: Battelle Memorial InPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780873719834
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
This timely reference presents the state of the art of the emerging and rapidly changing field of bioremediation of chlorinated solvents, PCBs, and other chlorinated compounds, as well as PAHs, both in situ and on site. This landmark publication reports significant advances in bioremediation, with an emphasis on practical applications and state-of-the-art developments. Laboratory and field-oriented reviews are presented with the objective of tying treatability studies and recent laboratory developments to field applications. No other reference source gives you access to the most current techniques and methods for the bioremediation of chlorinated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds. This book represents the work of leading experts in the fields of in situ and on-site bioremediation from North America, Europe, and Asia. The chapters include current field applications and laboratory studies undertaken, in some cases, in countries with regulatory standards more stringent than those of the United States.
