Evaluation of silicate minerals for pH control during bioremediation: Application to chlorinated solvents

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Accurate control of groundwater pH is of critical importance for in situ biological treatment of chlorinated solvents. This study evaluated a novel approach for buffering subsurface pH that relies on the use of silicate minerals as a long-term source of al ...

Effect of antecedent conditions and fixed rock fragment coverage on soil erosion dynamics through multiple rainfall events

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The effect of antecedent conditions and specific rock fragment coverage on precipitation-driven soil erosion dynamics through multiple rainfall events was investigated using a pair of 6-m × 1-m flumes with 2.2% slope. Four sequential experiments – denoted ...

Erosion of soils due to rainfall impact – An interpolation method

David Andrew Barry, Marc Parlange, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

An approximate analytical solution of the Hairsine-Rose model of erosion is obtained by interpolation of asymptotic expressions for large times and great distances. The solution, when erosion is initiated by rainfall impact, is both simple and accurate. Th ...

Design methodology accounting for the effects of porous medium heterogeneity on hydraulic residence time and biodegradation in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Alessandro Brovelli

Horizontal flow constructed wetlands are engineered systems capable of eliminating a wide range of pollutants from the aquatic environment. Nevertheless, poor hydrodynamic behavior is commonly found resulting in preferential pathways and variations in both ...

Use of silicate minerals for pH control during reductive dechlorination of chloroethenes in batch cultures of different microbial consortia

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

In chloroethene-contaminated sites undergoing in situ bioremediation, groundwater acidification is a frequent problem in the source zone, and buffering strategies have to be implemented to maintain the pH in the neutral range. An alternative to conventiona ...

Effect of raindrop splash and transversal width on soil erosion: Laboratory flume experiments and analysis with the Hairsine-Rose model

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The parameter consistency of the one-dimensional Hairsine-Rose (H-R) erosion model under conditions of significant rainfall splash was examined. To account for the splash characteristic length scale and its interaction with the transverse erosion width, ex ...

A combination of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds aimed at modelling electrical conductivity and permittivity of variably saturated porous media

Alessandro Brovelli

In this paper we propose a novel theoretical model for the dielectric response of variably saturated porous media. A model is constructed for fully saturated porous media as a combination of the well established Hashin and Shtrikman [1962] bounds and Archi ...
